The missile was launched from Banghyon in North Pyongan Province, a report by Yonhap news agency quoting South Korean military read.

US President Donald Trump, who had warned North Korea of a 'determined response' last week, lashed out at the latter following its latest missile launch. 

Trump took to Twitter to vent against Kim Jong-un and his men.

"North Korea has just launched another missile. Does this guy have anything better to do with his life?" a part of his tweet read.

He also expressed anger over Japan and South Korea's incompetence and urged China to deal with the matter with an iron hand.

"Hard to believe that South Korea and Japan will put up with this much longer. Perhaps China will put a heavy move on North Korea and end this nonsense once and for all," Trump said.

Meanwhile, Japan said that the missile was directed towards them and may have landed in the country's exclusive economic zone in the sea of Japan.

The missile travelled around 930 kilometres and flew for 40 minutes, both Japanese and South Korean authorities said.

This is the 11th missile launch conducted by Kim Jong-un's men this year.

Protesting the action, Japan's chief cabinet secretary Yoshihide Suga was quoted in the media as saying, "North Korea's repeated provocations like this are absolutely unacceptable. We lodged a strong protest and condemned it."
