North Korea Fires 11th Missile Test Before US-ROK Drills
South Korean and Japanese officials said the missile flew about 700 km and landed in the sea, while U.S. forces reported no immediate threat.
- On Wednesday, North Korea fired a suspected ballistic missile toward the sea, according to Japan's Defense Ministry, marking the second such weapons launch in less than a week.
- The launch occurred two days after South Korea and the United States announced annual large-scale military drills, which North Korea has historically responded to with provocative weapons tests.
- Japan's military alerted ships in the Sea of Japan, or East Sea, at 6:03 a.m. KST about the launch, with the missile believed to have already fallen by 6:12 a.m.
- Yonhap, citing South Korea's military, reported an unidentified projectile fired off North Korea's east coast, though North Korea did not confirm the launch despite typically releasing details one day later.
- Last week, South Korea, the United States, and Japan detected an SRBM launch—the first ballistic weapons testing from the North since late June—as military exercises approach next week.
