North Korea launched another ballistic missile after the announcement of a statement by Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui criticizing the trilateral summit between South Korea, the United States and Japan on the 17th.
“Around 10:48, our military detected a short-range ballistic missile fired by North Korea into the East Sea from Wonsan, Gangwon-do,” the Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
“Our military is maintaining a position of full readiness while collaborating closely with the United States while strengthening surveillance and vigilance,” the Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
North Korea’s ballistic missile launch is the first in eight days since it launched a short-range ballistic missile in the Sukcheon area of southern Pyongan province on the 9th.
North Korea’s ballistic missile launches, Foreign Minister Choe Son-hee said, “The more the United States focuses on ‘strengthening the provision of extended deterrence’ and strengthen its provocative and pretentious military activities in the Korean peninsula and the region, the more our armed forces the response will be directly proportional to it.” It was done two hours after announcing the statement: “It will become fierce.”
