South Korea says North Korea has launched ballistic missiles toward the North’s eastern waters

  • On Sunday, North Korea fired multiple ballistic missiles toward the East Sea from the Sinpo area at around 6:10 a.m., detected by South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff and Japan.
  • This incident marks the North's seventh ballistic missile test this year and fourth in April, violating United Nations Security Council resolutions that ban the country's missile program.
  • South Korea's presidential office convened an emergency security meeting, while Japan and the United States coordinated closely with Seoul to bolster surveillance and intelligence sharing.
  • Kyungnam University professor Lim Eul-chul noted Pyongyang perceives the current U.S. focus on Iran as a "golden time" to upgrade its nuclear power and missile capability.
  • Earlier this month, Pyongyang's Foreign Ministry declared South Korea its "most hostile enemy state," deriding Seoul as "world-startling fools" and signaling rejection of diplomatic engagement.
