On the 26th, North Korea launched an unidentified ballistic missile into the East Sea.


The Joint Chiefs of Staff announced this in a text message sent to the Ministry of National Defense press corps around 5:35 a.m. that day. Military authorities are analyzing detailed specifications such as the type and flight distance of the missile launched by North Korea.


Following the release of anti-South Korea filth balloons for two consecutive days on the 24th and 25th, North Korea showed a complex pattern of provocation by launching a ballistic missile in the early morning of the 26th.



The Joint Chiefs of Staff stated in a text message distributed to the Ministry of National Defense press corps the previous night, "North Korea is once again releasing anti-South filth balloons (presumed)," adding, "Currently, the wind direction is northwest, moving southeast from the northern Gyeonggi region." On the night of the 24th, North Korea also released about 350 filth balloons, with around 100 falling in the northern Gyeonggi and Seoul areas in the South.
