The ICBM marks Pyongyang's fourth round of launches in a week as South Korea and Japan leaders meet.
By Laura GozziNorth Korea has fired an intercontinental ballistic missile just hours before the leaders of South Korea and Japan are due to meet for a landmark summit.
The missile was fired at 07:10 from Pyongyang on the east coast of North Korea, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said. Following Thursday's launch, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol ordered his country's military to continue with the joint US exercises as planned.North Korea last fired an ICBM less than a month ago- an action that sparked a UN emergency meeting and condemnation from G7 countries.North Korea's ramped-up missile activity is set to be top of agenda when Mr Yoon meets Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Tokyo later on Thursday.
