North Korea fires missile off east coast, Yonhap says
- On Sunday, North Korea launched an apparent ballistic missile toward the East Sea, according to South Korean and Japanese authorities who confirmed the weapon fell into the sea shortly after its launch.
- This action follows a September 12 event where the North launched "multiple" short-range weapons from Wonsan, flying 250 kilometers into the East Sea.
- Shortly after 3 p.m. KST, the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff detected the launch; the Japanese Coast Guard reported two minutes later that the missile had fallen.
- Pyongyang's recent weapons tests are widely viewed as protests against trilateral military exercises involving Seoul, Washington, and Tokyo, according to regional analysts.
- Authorities have not provided specific details regarding the missile's trajectory or the exact number of projectiles involved, limiting independent verification of the weapon's capabilities.
