On that basis, the military information comprehensive protection agreement with Japan = GSOMIA was announced to be destroyed, but it is valid until November, so it will share necessary information according to Japan's request.
The Korean Army's Joint Staff Headquarters will launch two flying bodies toward the Sea of Japan from around 6:45 am and 7:02 am on the 24th, near Seongdeok, Nam Kyung Namdo, Eastern Province. Announced that it was fired.
It was estimated that the short-range ballistic missile was fired, the flight distance was about 380 km, and the altitude was 97 km, and we will proceed with further analysis with the US military.
The joint military headquarters of the South Korean army also agreed that the agreement is still valid for GSOMIA, which expires at midnight on November 23, after South Korea has announced the destruction, and is necessary based on the request of Japan. Emphasizing the collaboration between Japan and Korea for sharing information.
Regarding the launch of the flying body, which seems to be a short-range ballistic missile, North Korea indicated that it would stop launching after the US-ROK joint military exercise until the 20th of this month.
The reason why North Korea decided to launch GSOMIA the day after it announced the destruction of GSOMIA is that there is an aim to shake up the cooperation between the three countries of Japan, the US, and South Korea as the conflict between Japan and Korea deepens.
