The launch was North Korea’s fourth in a week, following tests of rockets and cluster warheads, South Korean officials said.
- North Korea fired an unidentified projectile toward the East Sea on Wednesday, according to South Korea's military. The Joint Chiefs detected the launch at 9:52 a.m. KST.
- The DPRK's fourth launch event in the last week followed tests of 600mm rockets and cluster warheads mounted on both ballistic and cruise missiles.
- Pyongyang fired a dozen short-range ballistic missiles from the Wonsan area last Thursday and tested a cluster bomb mounted on tactical ballistic missiles on Saturday.
- A spokesman for the South Korean Ministry of National Defense confirmed the firing by text message, while Japanese authorities made no immediate announcements regarding the suspected missile.
