The type of projectile, location of the launch site and other details weren’t immediately shared. Japan’s defense ministry detected a possible ballistic missile launch, its coast guard said in an alert.
Before Thursday, Pyongyang had conducted 10 missile tests this year — more than in all of 2021. Two of its more recent launches featured parts of North Korea’s next-generation intercontinental ballistic missile system, US, South Korean and Japanese officials have said. The Kim regime has described that activity as being related to its ongoing development of a military reconnaissance satellite.
A North Korean missile test last week failed, as the projectile exploded shortly after being launched from the outskirts of Pyongyang, the South Korean military said. The Kim regime also test-fired multiple rounds of artillery over the weekend.
The artillery fires and the unsuccessful launch weren’t mentioned by North Korean state media, which often publicizes successful tests.
