The U.S. military acknowledged a North Korean ballistic missile launch on May 26, reaffirming its defense commitments to regional allies. U.S. Pacific Command released a statement following Pyongyang's firing of a short-range missile towards the East Sea, which occurred prior to a significant South Korea-U.S. military exercise. The North Korean regime has condemned the exercise as a potential rehearsal for an invasion.
The U.S. military stated that they are aware of the missile launch and are in close consultation with allied partners. Based on present assessments, the North Korean action does not present an immediate threat to U.S. personnel or territory, or to regional allies. The United States remains steadfast in its commitment to protect the U.S. homeland and its allies in the area.
North Korea last tested a tactical ballistic missile, along with new multiple rocket launchers and other weapons, on June 25.
