UPDATED. Japan's Coast Guard also tracks the missile, and says it appeared to have fallen into the sea minutes after the launch was first reported.
SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea fired at least one ballistic missile into the sea on Wednesday, November 9, as South Korea said it had identified debris from an earlier launch as part of a Soviet-era SA-5 surface-to-air missile.
The launch came after South Korea concluded an analysis of what it had initially said was part of a North Korean short-range ballistic missile that landed near South Korean waters last week. “This SA-5 missile launch was a clearly deliberate, intentional provocation,” it said in a statement. “The SA-5 also has characteristics of a surface-to-surface missile, and Russia has used similar missiles in Ukraine for surface-to-surface attacks.”
The missile was exported around the world, and is still in service in at least a dozen countries, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies’ Missile Defense Project.
