North Korea launches ‘unidentified projectile’ into sea

Pyongyang, North Korea (WNews) – North Korea has launched an’ unidentified projectile’ into the sea according to sources.

The Japanese coast guard, which first reported the launch, said it could potentially be a ballistic missile, but no confirmation has yet been given.

The United Nations prohibits North Korea from ballistic and nuclear weapons tests.

If confirmed, this would be the first such launch carried by Pyongyang this year.

“South Korean and US intelligence are closely analyzing for further detail,” the JCS said in a statement.

Japan’s defense minister Nobuo Kishi said the suspected ballistic missile had flown about 500 km, according to a Reuters report.

The launch comes days after Kim said that Pyongyang would continue to strengthen its defense capabilities due to an increasingly unstable military environment on the Korean peninsula.

He made the remarks during a key end-of-year meeting of North Korea’s ruling party.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida called the latest launch “very regrettable,” pointing to North Korea’s repeated testing of missiles since 2021.

In 2021, North Korea continued the advancement of its weapons program, conducting what state media reported as the testing of a new hypersonic missile, as well as a train-based ballistic missile and a new long-range cruise missile.

Ballistic missiles are considered more threatening than cruise missiles because they can carry more powerful payloads, have a longer range, and can fly faster.
