The US Pacific Command (PACOM) said the missile was fired near Wonsan, on North Korea's eastern coast.
"The missile was tracked for six minutes until it landed in the Sea of Japan," it said in a statement.
"We are working with our interagency partners on a more detailed assessment. We continue to monitor North Korea's actions closely."
