SEOUL (Agencies): North Korea fired a missile towards the sea off its east coast on Tuesday (Sept 28), South Korea’s military said, as Pyongyang called on the United States and South Korea to scrap their “double standards” on weapons programmes to restart talks.

The missile was launched from the central north province of Jagang at around 6.40am local time (2140 GMT), the South’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
