Sharjah 24 – Reuters: North Korea fired an unidentified ballistic missile toward the East Sea on Sunday, South Korea's military said, in its first missile launch this year.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff said it detected the launch but gave no further details, South Korean News Agency (Yonhap) reported.

The North last fired a Hwasong-18 solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile into the East Sea on December 18.

Pyongyang's isolated government is forging closer ties with Moscow. Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui will visit Russia from Monday to Wednesday at the invitation of her counterpart Sergei Lavrov, the North's KCNA news agency said on Sunday.
