North Korea on Tuesday fired at least one ballistic missile toward its eastern sea, according to the South Korean military, as the country continued its weapons demonstrations hours before the U.S. presidential elections.

South Korea plans to test-fire a short-range ballistic missile in response to the North aunching an intercontinental ballistic missile, according to a South Korean news report.

North Korea fires at least seven short-range ballistic missiles off its east coast, Japan's defence minister says, shortly after Pyongyang condemns military drills by its rivals.
