MADRID 5 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
South Korean authorities reported this Tuesday that Pyongyang has launched several ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan, also known as the East Sea, coinciding with the start of the US elections, which begin in the next few hours, and after the week last year launched an intercontinental missile that recorded the longest flight time on record.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff of South Korea has registered the launch of several short-range ballistic missiles, the details of which are being investigated, so it has not given more information in this regard, while the Japanese Ministry of Defense has notified a launch around 7:30 a.m. (local time) and, minutes later, around 7:55 a.m., it announced that it had “already fallen” outside the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the archipelago.
Last week, following the launch of the intercontinental missile, South Korea, the United States and Japan held new combined exercises in waters east of Jeju Island. These launches occur within the framework of tensions over the deployment of North Korean troops to Russia for their subsequent deployment in Ukraine.
