A missile was launched, as the state media reported North Korea test-fired a new mid- to long-range solid-fuel hypersonic missile, at an unknown location in North Korea on Apr 2. SEOUL: North Korea has fired at least one"unidentified ballistic missile", Seoul's military said on Friday , hours after leader North Korea "fires unidentified ballistic missile toward East Sea", Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff said, referring to the body of water also known as the Sea of Japan.
She said the North's"tactical weapons including multiple rocket launchers and missiles shown by us recently are produced to discharge the only one mission ... to prevent Seoul from inventing any idle thinking".North Korea is barred by rafts of UN sanctions from any tests using ballistic technology, but its key ally Russia used its UN Security Council veto in March to effectively end UN monitoring of violations, for which Pyongyang has specifically thanked Moscow.
The North said last week it would equip its military with a new 240mm multiple rocket launcher this year, adding that a"significant change" for the army's artillery combat capabilities was underway.Analysts say the nuclear-armed North could be ramping up production and testing of artillery and cruise missiles before sending them to Russia for use in Ukraine.
