#Missile Launch

On the morning of October 3, North Korea launched a ballistic missile toward the Sea of Japan, flying over 700 km. In response, Seoul raised combat readiness and convened the Security Council.

Pyongyang responded to the reduction of U.S.–South Korea exercises with a volley of ballistic missiles and a hardline statement by Kim Yo-jong, rejecting Washington's proposals and cementing the DPRK's nuclear status.

🚀 North Korea conducted its 11th ballistic missile launch in 2026. The launch from Wonsan took place on August 12; the missile traveled ~700 km and fell into the sea. This is the second launch in a week ahead of US-South Korea drills. Possible identification as Hwasong-11A (KN-23). North Korean missiles are actively used in the conflict in Ukraine. 🌍 #NorthKorea #MissileLaunch #UlchiFreedomShield #KN23 #UkraineWar
