[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Choi] North Korea launched a ballistic missile into the East Sea on the 18th. This comes one month after North Korea fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) last month.

The ballistic missile launch on this day is analyzed as a response to the United Nations adopting a North Korean human rights resolution for the 18th consecutive year and Japan adopting a security strategy to secure the capability for preemptive strikes on enemy bases.

So far this year, North Korea has fired ballistic missiles 62 times in 36 launches (based on location and time) and has launched cruise missiles 3 times, as reported by the media.
