SEOUL: The military in Seoul reported that North Korea launched a medium-range ballistic missile on Tuesday, April 2, the most recent in a string of prohibited weaponry tests conducted by Kim Jong Un’s government this year.
The ballistic missile test on Tuesday was the third of 2024, following a solid-fuel test under Kim’s supervision in March and a test with a maneuverable hypersonic warhead in January.
It also coincides with less than two weeks after North Korean state media said that Kim oversaw tank training and “super large” rocket launcher drills this year, in addition to supervising an engine test for a “new-type intermediate-range hypersonic missile”.
According to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Seoul’s armed forces “detected around 6.53 (2153 GMT) what is presumed to be a medium-range ballistic missile fired from Pyongyang area into the East Sea,” which is another name for the Sea of Japan.
The JCS stated that it had “stepped up monitoring and are closely sharing relevant information with the US and Japan” after the missile traveled around 600 kilometers before splashing down.
We vehemently denounce the North’s flagrant provocation, which jeopardizes the stability and tranquility of the Korean Peninsula,” it continued.
