"North Korea fires unidentified projectile into the East Sea," the joint chiefs of staff said in a brief statement, referring to the body of water also known as the Sea of Japan.
The launch follows Pyongyang's test-firing of a ballistic missile earlier this month that it said incorporated artificial intelligence technology.
That missile, fired on Oct 3, "is capable of changing its flight orbit at a low altitude and AI was introduced into it", Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, said at the time.
