North Korea launched several short-range ballistic missiles off its eastern coast early Thursday in what South Korean officials believe may be a performance test aimed at potential arms exports.
North Korea fired what appeared to be multiple short-range ballistic missiles from the coastal city of Wonsan at approximately 8:10 a.m. local time, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said. The projectiles flew as far as 800 kilometers before landing in the sea.
South Korea is working closely with the United States and Japan to analyze the launch and share relevant data. While the military has not disclosed the number or technical specifics of the missiles, spokesperson Lee Sung-jun suggested the launch may have been conducted to test the flight performance and stability of weapons intended for export.
Japan also confirmed the detection of a missile launch, noting that the projectiles may have flown on an irregular trajectory.
Despite a United Nations Security Council ban on ballistic missile tests, North Korea has significantly expanded its missile development program in recent years, continuing launches across various ranges. In March, the country carried out a similar test while accusing the United States and South Korea of escalating tensions through joint military exercises.
