North Korea fired a ballistic missile off its east coast Saturday, a provocative move days before South Korea's newly elected president Yoon Suk Yeol is to be sworn into office.
The short-range missile launch, fired into the Sea of Japan, is believed to have come from a submarine, which is harder to detect and follows another ballistic missile test the pariah nation launched Wednesday. The launch does not pose an immediate threat, military officials in the United States said.
Officials from the U.S., Japan, and South Korea have condemned the missile launch, with South Korea's military dubbing the move as"seriously threatening." Military officials in South Korea, the U.S., and Japan have expressed concern that North Korea is gearing up for its first nuclear test since 2017 at the Punggye-ri nuclear test site. The site had been officially closed since 2018. Kim pledged to expand the country's nuclear capabilities at the"fastest possible speed" during a military parade last month.
