The ballistic missile flew toward the Sea of Japan (Korean: Baltic Sea), South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported, citing the military. Further details were not initially given. Most recently, on November 9, North Korea tested a potentially nuclear-capable missile.
UN resolutions prohibit North Korea, a self-declared nuclear power, from testing ballistic missiles of any range that can be armed with a nuclear warhead. Recently, tensions on the Korean peninsula had increased significantly. More than 50 North Korean missile tests have been conducted since the beginning of the year – in early November alone, the South Korean military recorded more than 25, including an ICBM.
The recent missile tests were also seen as a response to joint maneuvers by South Korean and US forces. North Korea regularly accuses the United States of preparing an attack through its maneuvers with South Korea, which both countries deny.
