US EditionSouth Korea Says North Korea Fired at Least 1 Ballistic Missile Toward Its Eastern Waters
- On Friday, North Korea fired at least one unidentified ballistic missile toward the East Sea, which South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff detected but did not immediately detail.
- Following earlier launches this year, the North fired its seventh ballistic missile, second since President Lee Jae Myung took office, a day after denouncing U.S. sanctions on eight individuals and two entities.
- South Korea's military said it is analyzing launch details, including missile type and range, while officials said it wasn't clear what ballistic weapon was used or how far it flew after Oct. 22 short-range and last month's purported hypersonic and cruise missile tests.
- The launch underscores that Kim Jong Un's arsenal now includes nuclear-capable missiles of various ranges targeting U.S. allies and the mainland, days after U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth praised South Korea's military spending plans.
- Kim Jong Un has been shunning diplomatic talks since 2019 and accelerated his weapons programs while aligning with Russia and supporting President Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine.
