The Joint Chiefs of Staff announced on the 15th that North Korea fired a ballistic missile into the East Sea.


The military is analyzing detailed specifications such as the missile type and flight distance.


North Korea carried out another provocation 63 days after test-firing the new solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) Hwasong-18 on April 13. Just before the ballistic missile launch, North Korean state media released a "warning statement" in the name of the Ministry of Defense spokesperson, protesting the South Korea-U.S. combined joint firepower annihilation exercise.



North Korea threatened, "Our armed forces will thoroughly respond to any form of protest-like actions and provocations by the enemy."
