North Korea launches ballistic missile

2022-05-04 19:10:45 | bad news

Launched missile was from Sunan, an area of the North Korean capital of Pyongyang, and was estimated to have flown at a maximum altitude of about 800 kilometers  (500 miles) over a distance of about 500 kilometers (290 miles) before falling into the sea outside of Japan's Exclusive Economic Zone.

The launch is North Korea's first since a military parade late on April 25, at which leader Kim Jong Un vowed to ramp up his development of nuclear arms. From that time, launch becomes 13th of the year, including one presumed to have failed.
By comparison, it conducted only four tests in 2020, and eight in 2021.

Among this year's tests was the launch of an ICBM on March 24, North Korea's first test of that weapon in more than four years. North Korea has previously unleased harsh rhetoric threatening to attack its rivals with its nuclear weapons. These unusually fast pace in weapons testing this year underscores its dual goal of advancing its missile programs and applying pressure on international community.

North Korea’s series of actions that threatens the peace, safety and stability of the international community are impermissible. This is a developing story, and the crisis is just around the corner.
