[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu, Military Specialist Reporter] North Korea launched an unidentified projectile on the morning of the 16th but failed. At the moment of launch, the projectile did not soar into the sky, so it is unclear whether it was a ballistic missile, but it clearly signaled an intention to continue provocations.



The Joint Chiefs of Staff stated that day, "North Korea launched from the Sunan area of Pyongyang at 9:30 a.m., but it is presumed to have failed immediately after launch, and South Korea and the U.S. are conducting additional analysis."
