North Korea appears to have launched a missile near its west coast Sunday morning local time, according to multiple reports.
The South Korean military said in a statement that its neighbor the the north launched a ballistic missile that flew about 435 miles, according to the Associated Press.
A U.S. Pacific Command spokesman said in a statement that the missile, launched from Kusung, landed in the Sea of Japan and that while it is assessing the type of missile used, its flight was not consistent with an intercontinental ballistic missile.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command determined that the missile never posed a threat to the United States.
President Trump has been briefed on the launch by national security adviser H.R. McMaster, ABC reported.
The launch happened just days after after Moon Jae-in was sworn in as president of South Korea.
