North Korea launches ”short-range ballistic missile” into the Sea of Japan = South Korean report

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff announced, ``At around 10:38 p.m. on the 17th, North Korea launched a FLY missile, believed to be a short-range ballistic missile, into the East Sea (Sea of Japan).''
The Joint Chiefs of Staff said, ``This ballistic missile landed in the East Sea after flying 570 kilometers,'' and ``While the Japanese military is raising its alert status,
We are maintaining a thorough readiness while closely sharing information regarding the virus." This is North Korea's first ballistic missile launch in 26 days since the 22nd of last month.
Kim Tae Hee-yo, First Deputy Director of the National Security Office of the South Korean Presidential Office, was on the 14th (local time) to attend the 2nd U.S.-South Korea Nuclear Consultative Group (NCG) meeting.
) Upon entering the United States, he told reporters, ``I believe there is a possibility that North Korea may launch an ICBM as early as December.'' The South Korean military will analyze the flight distance, altitude, speed, etc. of the FLY object.
It is estimated that it is a medium- to short-range ballistic missile. On this day when North Korea carried out the provocation, the father of North Korean leader Kim Jung Eun, the late Kim Jong Il, was born.
Immediately after the 12th anniversary of the launch, North Korea's Ministry of Defense strongly criticized the outcome of the NCG meeting between South Korea and the United States in a statement, calling it ``a blatant declaration of nuclear confrontation.''
