North Korea has launched a ballistic missile – a long-range weapon designed to carry a nuclear warhead and potentially capable of hitting the continental United States – into the Sea of Japan. This was announced by the South Korean news agency Yonhap, citing the Joint Chief of Staff of South Korea, the most important body of the South Korean armed forces. And Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida tweeted it as well.
This is the second launch in two days and the first of 2023, considering that it is already past midnight in Asia. No further details have been provided at this time.
