South Korea says rival North Korea launched a projectile believed to be a ballistic missile.
The firing was the latest in a series of tests by Kim as he pursues a nuclear-tipped missile that can reach the USA mainland.
The Japanese government confirms the missile flew 30 minutes and landed in The Sea of Japan.
The North test-fired a Pukguksong-2 intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM), also known as KN-15, from the same site on February 12.
The missile was sacked early on Sunday from a region named Kusong located northwest of Pyongyang, where the North previously test-launched an intermediate-range missile it is believed to be developing, the last time in February. North Korea last tested an intermediate-range missile in the area in February.
The letter was directed to the U.S. House of Representatives in response to recently approved sanctions against North Korea's shipping industry.
The warning came as the country celebrated the 105th anniversary of the birth of founding father Kim Il Sung and displayed what appear to be new submarine-based and long-range missiles in a huge military parade - at the same time as a nuclear-powered U.S. aircraft carrier group made its way towards the region.
Outside militaries will closely analyze what the North fired.
North Korea has been testing missiles at a rapid rate over the past year, apparently working towards leader Kim Jong Un's ambition to develop an ICBM that can reach the United States.
