North Korea missile falls into the sea.
That is what they always do.

US Strategic Command said the missile, believed to be a KN-11, had been fired from the North Korean coastal city of Sinpo at around 5:30 am local time and flew about 500 km before landing in the Sea of Japan.
Abe noted that it was the first time a North Korean missile launched from a submarine had entered Japan’s air defence identification zone, a reference to areas that countries designate to help maintain air security.
The 500 km distance recorded on Wednesday is greater than that achieved by previous submarine-launched ballistic missiles [SLBM], according to defence experts. The North fired two missiles from submarines earlier this year, but defence officials in Seoul believe they exploded in midair after flying fewer than 30 km.
