North Korea has completed another ballistic rocket test, days after another president took office in the South.
Japanese authorities say the rocket, which propelled from north-western Kusong, achieved a height of 2,000km.
South Korea's recently chosen President Moon Jae-in, who is looking for more profound engagement with the North, said it was a "rash incitement".
US President Donald Trump has called for "more grounded assents" against North Korea, while China is encouraging restriction.
A progression of North Korean rocket tests this year - which are restricted by the UN - has started worldwide caution and raised strains with the US.
Two rocket dispatches a month ago both fizzled, with the rockets detonating minutes into flight.
Is it another kind of rocket?
The way of the dispatch is as yet being resolved, yet investigators have said the test could propose a more drawn out range than already tried gadgets.
The Japanese guard serve said it flew for in regards to 30 minutes before falling in the Sea of Japan and could be another sort of rocket.
Tomomi Inada said it secured a separation of around 700km (435 miles), achieving an elevation of more than 2,000km (1,245 miles) - higher than that come to by a moderate range rocket North Korea terminated in February.
Specialists cited by Reuters say the elevation implied the rocket was propelled at a high direction, restricting the sidelong separation it voyaged. They say in the event that it had been terminated at a standard direction, it would have had a scope of no less than 4,000km.

Have North Korea's rocket tests paid off?
Kim Jong-un: North Korea's preeminent administrator
The US Pacific Command said in an announcement the sort was being surveyed however that its flight was not predictable with that of an intercontinental ballistic rocket [ICBM], which would have the range to achieve the US territory (more than 6,000km).
North Korea is accepted to create two sorts of ICBM, yet neither has so far been flight tried.
On the off chance that the Japanese examination of the direction is correct (that the rocket achieved an elevation of 2,000km), North Korea seems to have propelled its innovation extraordinarily.
The past two tests bombed, so unwavering quality is not there yet. In any case, a month ago a few specialists figured that an apparently new rocket on parade in Pyongyang may have been an ICBM (the sort President Trump said "won't occur").
Jeffrey Lewis of the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in California thought at the time that the new rockets on show may be ICBMs. Is this that rocket?
One thing is sure: North Korea will absolutely trumpet its prosperity in the event that it does now have the capacity to strike the US army installations on Guam, 3,400km from Pyongyang in the Western Pacific. Mr Trump would consider what to do with much more noteworthy earnestness.

What has been the response?
Mr Moon facilitated a crisis meeting of his security board in the wake of the dispatch.
"The president said while South Korea stays open to the likelihood of discourse with North Korea, it is just conceivable when the North demonstrates an adjustment in state of mind," his representative said.
In the mean time, an individual from South Korea's decision party going to a noteworthy summit in China purportedly told the North Korean assignment straightforwardly that they "firmly censured" the dispatch.
The White House said President Donald Trump "can't envision Russia is satisfied" in light of the fact that the rocket did not arrive a long way from Russian domain.
It included that the new dispatch ought to fill in as a call for more grounded authorizations against North Korea.
A Kremlin representative later said Russian President Vladimir Putin was worried by the test.
China, North Korea's just real partner, called for restriction by "all important gatherings" in the wake of the most recent test.
How are US-North Korea relations?
The North has directed five atomic tests regardless of UN endorses and is additionally growing long-run rockets.
It is accounted for to be proceeding with endeavors to scale down atomic warheads and fit them on rockets equipped for achieving the US.
Washington has blamed other UN Security Council individuals for not completely implementing existing assents against the North, and has encouraged China specifically to utilize its exchange connects as impact.
Be that as it may, in spite of poor relations, North Korea as of late said it would hold chats with the US "if the conditions were correct".
The remarks, by a senior North Korean ambassador, came after US President Donald Trump said he would be "respected" to meet the North's pioneer, Kim Jong-un.
