This latest missile launch comes less than three weeks after North Korea fired a new tactical guided weapon on April 16 aimed at boosting the country's nuclear capabilities.
SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea has fired a ballistic missile toward the sea off its east coast on Wednesday, May 4, South Korea’s military said, about a week after the North vowed to develop its nuclear forces “at the fastest possible speed.”
South Korea’s military said it detected the launch about noon in the Sunan area of Pyongyang. Sunan is where North Korea last fired what it claimed to be Hwasong-17, a “new type” of intercontinental ballistic missile , on March 24. Pyongyang has recently stepped up weapons tests, resuming long-range missile launches for first time since 2017 in March. Officials in Seoul and Washington say it may also be preparing for a new round of nuclear tests.
