North Korea has launched a suspected ballistic missile off its eastern coast, Japan and South Korea said on Thursday. Following the alleged launch, Japanese PM Fumio Kishida instructed his officials to “dedicate maximum efforts to gather and analyze data and provide the public speedy and adequate information. Kishida also asked the administration to ensure the safety of aircraft, vessels, and other assets and take all possible measures for precaution, including contingency preparedness.
The launch followed North Korea’s expression of discontent over live fire drills conducted by South Korea and the United States, reported news agency Reuters. The Japanese Defence Ministry stated that the projectile fired by North Korea appeared to be a ballistic missile.
In a display of strength following North Korea’s failed attempt to launch a spy satellite last month, which escalated tensions in the region, several thousand South Korean and U.S. troops participated in joint live-fire exercises on Thursday. In response to these drills, North Korea warned that it would strongly retaliate against any protests or provocations by its adversaries, the Reuters report stated.
Late last month, Pyongyang made an unsuccessful bid to launch a spy satellite, marking its first such endeavour since 2016. The rocket booster and payload subsequently plunged into the sea.
