North Korea conducted another ballistic missile test. According to Japan and South Korea, two bullets were fired in an easterly direction.
These are short-range missiles, reports the South Korean army. They traveled about 350 kilometers and then ended up in the Sea of Japan, outside the exclusive economic zone of Japan.
The Japanese Defense Minister has called the missile tests unacceptable. He ordered an investigation into the type of rocket and where it was launched from. It is also necessary to take into account the possibility that the missiles were launched from a submarine.
Seventh missile test in a short time
Today’s missile test is the seventh since the beginning of last week. Earlier this week, Pyongyang launched a long-range missile on Japanese territory. The bullet reached an altitude of 1000 kilometers and ended up in the Pacific Ocean 3000 kilometers from the coast. In response, fired South Korea and the United States a barrage of missiles at sea.
The North Korean exercises are said to be a response to the joint military exercises of South Korea, Japan and the United States.
