According to the Japanese Coast Guard, this is a ballistic missile.
Korean People's -Democratic Republic on Wednesday, January 5, fired an unrecognized shell towards the Sea of Japan.
This was reported by the Yonhap news agency with reference to the Joint Chiefs of Staff of South Korea (JCS).
According to the Japanese Coast Guard, this is a ballistic missile banned by the UN Security Council resolution.
In addition, since the beginning of last month, the North Korean military has been conducting winter exercises, so there is an assumption that the launch may be related with them.
This is the first missile launch from North Korea this year. Pyongyang last tested an SLBM (submarine ballistic missile) on October 19 last year.
At the end of last month, the DPRK promised to “vigorously accelerate the development and production of powerful combat equipment that meets modern methods of warfare.” p>
