North Korea fires another short-range missile, flies warplanes near border
North Korea early Friday local time launched a short-range ballistic missile toward its eastern waters and flew warplanes near the border with South Korea, further raising animosities triggered by the North’s recent barrage of weapons tests.
Friday’s ballistic launch extended a record number of missile demonstrations by North Korea this year as it exploits the distraction created by Russia’s war on Ukraine to accelerate its arms development and increase pressure on Washington and its Asian allies. The South Korean and Japanese militaries assessed that the missile traveled 650 to 700 kilometers at a maximum altitude of 50 kilometers before landing in waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.
North Korea said leader Kim Jong Un supervised the test-launches Wednesday of long-range cruise missiles that he said successfully demonstrated his military’s expanding nuclear strike capabilities.
