U.S. Army Human Resources Command said, "North Korea launch is not an immediate threat...We need to stop provocations."

The U.S. Indo-Pacific Command condemned North Korea's ballistic missile launch and called for an end to its provocations.

"We are aware of North Korea's several ballistic missile launches and are in close consultation with South Korea, Japan and other regional allies and partners," the Asia Pacific Command said in a statement.

"We evaluate that this incident does not pose an immediate threat to U.S. personnel, territory or our allies, but we continue to monitor the situation," he said. "The U.S. commitment to defending South Korea and Japan remains ironclad."

"The United States condemns this action and urges North Korea to refrain from any further illegal and destabilizing acts," he added.
