North Korea's ballistic missile provocation comes just three days after it launched the intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) Hwasong-17 on the 16th, the same day the South Korea-Japan summit was held. The ballistic missile fired on this day appears to be a response to the ongoing South Korea-U.S. joint exercise "Freedom Shield" (FS). North Korea has continued retaliatory military demonstrations at intervals of 2 to 3 days, having fired two submarine-launched cruise missiles on the 12th, one day before the main FS exercise began, and a short-range ballistic missile on the 14th.
