North Korea Fires Suspected Ballistic Missile Into Sea East of the Korean Peninsula
Read this in the Market Flux appNorth Korea launched a suspected ballistic missile toward the sea off its east coast on October 29, with the Japan Coast Guard reporting the launch in the early morning hours UTC. Japan's government assessed the projectile as a possible ballistic missile, and South Korean military confirmed the firing shortly after.
The missile appears to have landed beyond Japan's exclusive economic zone, according to Kyodo News, indicating a significant range. The launch came shortly after South Korea's defense ministry had characterized North Korea's recent use of older weapons near the border as seemingly performative, suggesting Pyongyang escalated its activities with a more substantial provocation within hours of that assessment.
