North Korea missile test
Seoul: North Korea is notorious all over the world for testing its missiles. Meanwhile, there is news that Kim Jong Un has suffered a major setback. The South Korean army has said that North Korea probably launched a hypersonic missile on Wednesday but this missile was destroyed in the air. It is worth noting that North Korea conducted this test at a time when a few days ago the US has deployed an aircraft carrier for new trilateral military exercises with South Korea and Japan. North Korea has opposed the deployment of the aircraft carrier in this region.
no news of loss
South Korea on Wednesday conducted military drills along the disputed western maritime border with North Korea. It was the first military drill since the 2018 agreement aimed at reducing military tensions on the front lines with North Korea was suspended in early June. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement that North Korea launched a missile at around 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday. The missile was launched towards North Korea’s eastern waters, but the launch was unsuccessful. The statement said that pieces of the missile were scattered in the waters up to 250 kilometers from the launch site near the North Korean capital. There are no immediate reports of any damage.
Solid-fueled hypersonic missile
The Joint Chiefs of Staff told South Korean reporters that the weapon was a solid-fueled hypersonic missile. The launch produced more smoke than a normal launch, which was probably due to an engine malfunction. According to South Korea’s Foreign Ministry, senior diplomats from South Korea, the United States and Japan condemned the missile launch and called it a violation of UN resolutions. All these countries also agreed to maintain close coordination to deal with the threat from North Korea. (AP)
