North Korea fired a ballistic missile towards its eastern waters on Monday, as confirmed by South Korea's military. The launch, which occurred on Monday, is part of a recent series of weapons launches by North Korea. However, specific details about the distance the missile traveled were not provided by South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff.
In recent months, North Korea has been actively conducting weapons testing to enhance its military capabilities amidst stalled diplomatic relations with the United States and South Korea. Over the weekend, North Korea announced successful tests of a 'super-large' cruise missile warhead and a new anti-aircraft missile in a western coastal area.
