South Korea said that North Korea had launched a ballistic missile again

South Koreaʼs military said North Korea fired a single short-range ballistic missile toward the sea on September 25.

Reuters writes about it.

The missile was launched from the Taecheon district in North Pyongyang province around 07:00 local time. It flew approximately 600 km at an altitude of 60 km.

"North Koreaʼs launch of a ballistic missile is an act of grave provocation that threatens the peace and security of the Korean peninsula and international community," South Koreaʼs Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.

South Koreaʼs National Security Council held an emergency meeting to discuss response measures and condemned the launch as a clear violation of UN Security Council resolutions and an unjustified provocation.

These days, the US nuclear aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan arrived in South Korea. He will take part in joint exercises with the South Korean army, which will last from September 26 to 29. US Vice President Kamala Harris will also arrive in Seoul.

• On August 17, North Korea fired two cruise missiles from the city of Onchon on the west coast of the country. The launches came a day after Seoul and Washington began a four-day joint exercise in preparation for the Ulchi Freedom Shield field exercises, which will run from August 22 to September 1.
• On August 22, South Korea and the United States began their largest military exercises in recent years. In this way, they want to prepare for new missile tests by North Korea.
