[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu, Military Specialist Reporter] North Korea launched a long-range ballistic missile, presumed to be an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), into the East Sea.


According to the Joint Chiefs of Staff on the 24th, the missile launched into the East Sea in the afternoon is estimated to have been fired at a high angle, higher than the normal trajectory.



Considering that the Joint Chiefs referred to it as a "long-range ballistic missile," there is speculation that it may be a test launch of the new ICBM, the Hwasong-17. The launch site is known to be Pyongyang Sunan Airport.
