Wednesday's launch came on the eve of a planned visit to Seoul by U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, who is scheduled to visit the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating the two Koreas.
Harris will be the highest-ranking U.S. official to visit the heavily-fortified inter-Korean border since 2019 when then-American President Donald Trump crossed it to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
The launch also comes after the North fired a short-range ballistic missile, Sunday, a day before Seoul and Washington started large-scale combined navy drills for a four-day run.
