South Korea Condemns North Korean Missile Launch
South Korea has condemned a new North Korean ballistic missile launch from the Wonsan coast as a breach of international norms, convening an emergency security session and coordinating closely with the US and Japan. While Washington states the missiles pose no immediate threat, the incident serves as a direct response to recent trilateral maritime exercises concluded earlier this week.
Al Jazeera English reports that South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff detected the missiles traveling approximately 250 kilometers before impact, while the US Pacific Command confirmed the launches do not currently threaten US territory or its allies.
