North Korea 'fires suspected ballistic missile into sea' after US-China pledge

North Korea fired a suspected ballistic missile into the sea, a news report said, hours after the US and China announced they will work together to try to prevent North Korea from enhancing its nuclear weapons programme.

A projectile believed to be a ballistic missile flew into waters off the North's east coast, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported, citing an unidentified military official.
