Seoul Claims North Korea Launched Ballistic Missile Just Days After Its Border Exercise

Days after Pyongyang conducted live-fire drills close to the tense maritime border with South Korea, Seoul’s military said that North Korea fired a suspected intermediate-range ballistic missile on Sunday.

“Our military detected one suspected intermediate-range ballistic missile launched from the Pyongyang area towards the East Sea around 14:55”, said Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, referring to the body of water also known as the Sea of Japan.

The statement provided no other information other than to say that authorities in Seoul, Washington, and Tokyo were reviewing the specs.

“Our military maintains full readiness by closely sharing information related to the launched ‘North Korean missile’ with the US and Japan”, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) added.

The Japanese coast guard also reported a possible North Korean missile launch, citing intelligence from the country’s defence ministry and warned sailors to exercise caution.
