This is the best summary I could come up with:
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea fired a suspected long-range ballistic missile into the sea Monday in a resumption of its weapons testing activities, its neighbors said, as the North vows retaliatory steps against U.S. and South Korean moves to boost their nuclear deterrence plans.
Japan’s Defense Ministry said it also spotted a ballistic missile launch by North Korea.
A ministry statement said that the missile was still in flight and that it was expected to land in waters outside the Japanese Exclusive Economic Zone.
South Korea, the U.S. and Japan strongly condemned the launch, viewing it as an attempt by the North to improve its missile technology as well as establish a space-based surveillance system.
South Korea announced plans to resume front-line aerial surveillance in response.
North Korea quickly retaliated by restoring border guard posts, officials in Seoul said.
