Seoul: On Thursday, South Korea’s military reported that North Korea launched an unidentified ballistic missile from its east coast. The missile’s trajectory and other specifics remain undisclosed, as the South Korean military did not provide further details on the test.
This missile launch comes amid heightened tensions on the Korean Peninsula. In March, North Korea had fired multiple ballistic missiles in a similar show of force, accusing the South Korean and U.S. military forces of engaging in provocative joint drills. Pyongyang viewed these drills as “dangerous and provocative acts” that could further destabilize the region and escalate hostilities.
The launch is part of a continuing series of missile tests conducted by North Korea, which have raised concerns over the country’s advancing missile capabilities and its defiance of international sanctions. South Korea’s government has expressed grave concern over the frequent missile launches and the growing military tensions in the region.
