The launch of the unidentified projectile is Kim's eighth show of strength in a row, after the missile tests.
North Korea declared it was lifting a self-imposed temporary ban on nuclear and long-range missile tests.
It comes amid a deadlock in nuclear talks with the US.
North Korea fired a Hwasong-12 intermediate range ballistic missile a month ago.
North Korea has suggested it could restart testing longer range nuclear missiles or nuclear weapons after the stalled talks to denuclearise.
Earlier this month Kim Jong-Un said he would shake the world with more tests with weapons that could reach the US.
And experts warned in January that he could DETONATE a bomb for the first time in five years to get the attention of US President Joe Biden.
