North Korea fired a suspected ballistic missile on Sunday, Yonhap said, its first such launch since shooting off its single-day record of eight at the start of June.
At least one missile was launched into the East Sea, Yonhap said, citing South Korea’s military. Japan’s Coast Guard also reported a suspected firing of a ballistic missile.
So far in 2022, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has fired off more ballistic missiles than in any other year of his decade in power. He has tested rockets designed to evade U.S.-operated interceptors, which increase the threat of a credible nuclear strike against the U.S. and its allies in Asia.
