North Korea launched a new ballistic missile test from a submarine off the country’s east coast Saturday (May 7), according to military officials in South Korea.

The South Korean military detected the submarine-launched ballistic missile test off the coast of the North Korean city of Sinpo at 2:07 p.m. local time, according to the Yonhap News Agency.

The missile flew about 372 miles (600 kilometers) and reached a maximum altitude of 37 miles (60 km), Yonhap added, suggesting the missile did not reach the boundary of space (about 62 miles or 100 km) through which other ballistic missiles fly. It apparently fell back to Earth in the waters outside of Japan’s exclusive economic zone, according the Associated Press.
