Photos released by the country show North Korean leader Kim Jong-un watching the launch with his daughter. The missile landed in the sea between the Korean peninsula and Japan shortly before President Yoon Suk-yeol flew from South Korea to Japan for a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. North Korean missile tests and the country’s nuclear program have been a major topic of conversation between the two leaders.

North Korea held a record number of missile tests last year and launched several missiles again this year. The country launched two more strategic cruise missiles from a submarine on Sunday and tested two ballistic missiles on Tuesday.
