On Sunday, North Korea launched a single short-range ballistic missile towards the East Sea, according to South Korea's military sources. This occurred approximately three hours into the day, originating from the Wonsan area, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) reported. The missile reportedly traveled about 450 kilometers, though further analysis is being conducted to determine its precise specifications and additional details.
The JCS stated that both South Korean and U.S. intelligence agencies monitored and shared pertinent information surrounding the missile's initial stages. They also conveyed this data to Japan. The military emphasized that they are vigilantly observing North Korea's actions and are prepared to respond robustly to any provocations, maintaining a strong combined defense posture with the United States.
This launch comes a week after North Korea fired multiple short-range ballistic missiles from the same region towards the East Sea on September 12. In a subsequent media statement two days later, North Korea claimed to have conducted such activities.
