Seoul: South Korea said that North Korea had conducted a missile test in Korean waters today.
According to the South Korean media, “North Korea conducted a missile test this morning in the Korean waters. Further information about this missile test is not yet known,” it said. It is also reported that North Korea has conducted two missile tests this week.
US-South Korean forces have been conducting military exercises on the Korean Peninsula for the past few days. Also, reports suggest that the two countries are planning a massive military exercise at the end of this month. In this situation, North Korea has conducted a missile test again.
North Korea has conducted more than 10 missile tests since the beginning of 2022. North Korea’s action has shocked the world. As North Korea’s economy has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, the UN has said that the country is focusing on improving its missile tests instead of fixing it. It was condemned last year. Economic sanctions have also been imposed on North Korea for this. In this situation, North Korea continues to test missiles.
