North Korea launched at least one ballistic missile towards the East Sea on Wednesday, according to South Korea's military. The JCS detected the missile, which was launched from the Wonsan area on the eastern coast, around 6 a.m. The military has heightened its surveillance and vigilance in anticipation of further launches.
South Korea, the United States, and Japan have all maintained a high state of readiness following North Korea's ballistic missile launches. The military maintains close communication regarding the missile tests, as the country closely monitors any potential threats.
This latest launch occurred six days after North Korea fired a short-range missile towards the East Sea last Thursday. The missile launches have taken place as South Korea and the U.S. prepare to begin their annual combined military exercise next week. Pyongyang has vehemently denounced the drills as war rehearsals and has conducted its own weapons tests during the training period as a form of protest.
