North Korea launched at least one ballistic missile toward the East Sea on Friday, Nov 7, according to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), as reported by Yonhap News Agency.
The JCS confirmed the launch but did not immediately disclose details regarding the type of missile, its flight distance, or altitude. The launch marks the latest in a series of missile tests conducted by Pyongyang amid heightened regional tensions.
Japan’s defense authorities are also believed to be monitoring the situation closely, while South Korea’s military remains on high alert in coordination with the United States Forces Korea (USFK).
Further updates on the trajectory and impact assessment are awaited from Seoul’s defense ministry.
