"US Authorities Report North Korea Launches Two Ballistic Missiles"

[Asia Economy New York=Special Correspondent Baek Jong-min] The US CNN reported on the 24th (local time) that North Korea's projectile launches were two ballistic missiles.

North Korea's Korean Central TV released photos on the 11th showing the launch of two short-range projectiles conducted the previous day in the Hamhung area of South Hamgyong Province. The military initially estimated these projectiles to be similar to the Iskander-class KN-23 short-range ballistic missiles, but the photos released by North Korea suggest they are a new type of ballistic missile different from the KN-23. The photos show the launch scenes released by Central TV that afternoon. (Photo by Yonhap News)

CNN cited a high-ranking US official in reporting this.

CNN explained that US authorities are still analyzing the specifications and range of the launched missiles, but it is not yet known whether they are short-range or medium-to-long-range.

The US side previously mentioned that the cruise missiles North Korea launched over the weekend are not a violation of the UN Security Council resolution banning ballistic missile launches.
