Sunday's launch is the seventh this month, and is thought to be the largest in almost five years.
North Korea has conducted what is thought to be its biggest missile launch since 2017.
But the East Asian state regularly defies the ban, and leader Kim Jong-un has vowed to bolster his country's defences. Japanese and South Korean officials estimated that the missile reached an altitude of 2,000km and flew for 30 minutes to a distance of 800km . It landed in the Sea of Japan. The US said the tests violated UN resolutions and called on North Korea to refrain from provocations and to engage in substantive dialogue.South Korea's president, Moon Jae-in, said the latest flurry of missile tests was reminiscent of the heightened tensions in 2017, when North Korea conducted several nuclear tests and launched its largest missiles, including some that flew over Japan.
