South Korea’s military says North Korea has fired a suspected ballistic missile into the sea off its eastern coast.
1 / 2People watch a TV showing a file image of North Korea's missile launch during a news program, at the Seoul Railway Station in Seoul, South Korea, Sunday, Feb. 27, 2022. North Korea on Sunday launched a suspected ballistic missile into the sea, South Korean and Japanese officials said, in an apparent resumption of its weapons tests following the end of the Winter Olympics in China, the North's last major ally and economic pipeline.
South Korean officials said they also detected the launch from the North’s capital area and expressed “deep concerns and grave regret” over it. “The basic cause of the Ukraine incident lies in the high-handedness and arbitrariness of the United States, which has ignored Russia’s legitimate calls for security guarantees and only sought a global hegemony and military dominance while clinging to its sanctions campaigns,” Ri Ji Song, a researcher at a North Korean state-run institute on international politics, said in a post published on the website of the Foreign Ministry.
“North Korea is not going to do anyone the favor of staying quiet while the world deals with Russia’s aggression against Ukraine,” Easley said. “Pyongyang has an ambitious schedule of military modernization. The Kim regime’s strength and legitimacy have become tied to testing ever-better missiles.”
