Military sources in South Korea and Japan confirmed that Pyongyang has conducted a missile test for the third time this year. |
According to what the Ministry of Defense of South Korea announced on Tuesday, North Korea fired a ballistic missile towards the Sea of Japan, which is also called the East Sea.
According to the report of Kyodo news agency, South Korea announced that the missile that was launched fell into the sea according to the report of the Japanese Coast Guard. The head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the American military in Seoul also announced that he is analyzing the range of the North Korean missile and its other capabilities.

This is the third test that Pyongyang has conducted with a ballistic missile since the beginning of this year. North Korea announced last year that it had successfully tested its first solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile. It knows how to develop its capabilities in the field of launching a nuclear attack.
According to experts, ballistic missiles that work with solid fuel are more maneuverable and safer than missiles that use liquid fuel.
Since the beginning of the year, Pyongyang has identified South Korea as its main enemy after numerous military exercises with the United States, has closed its agencies for reunification and dialogue between the two countries, and threatened to withdraw even a millimeter of land if If this country is violated, war will start.
