The military is currently analyzing the range, altitude and speed of the missile.
This year alone, North Korea launched ballistic missiles 38 times, with a total of 67 missiles fired. In addition, Pyongyang tested cruise missiles three times.
The tests come following joint US-South Korea military drills in the region, which Pyongyang harshly criticized. Amid the escalating tensions, Kim Yo-jong, leader Kim Jong-un’s sister and deputy director of the WPK Central Committee, lambasted Seoul as a US “stooge” and “stray dog gnawing at the bone given by the United States”, while South Korean authorities reportedly planned to label North Korea as "enemy" in a new defense white paper.
