Officials said the KN-11-mod-2 missile was launched in the northwest region of North Korea Saturday evening and traveled around 300 miles into the Sea of Japan.
The missile test this weekend happened around the same time as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's appearance in the U.S. with President Donald Trump.
The missile traveled farther than any other missile that North Korea has launched, according to a Pentagon spokesman.
The launch was a "clear grave threat to our national security," Capt. Jeff Davis said, according to Fox News.
Kim Jong Un, North Korea's 33-year-old dictator, witnessed the launch in person, officials said.
The U.S. Navy has stationed two warships in the Sea of Japan in the last few weeks as part of a "heightened presence," one official said.
