"North Korea test-fires cruise missile into the East Sea"

It is known that North Korea fired a cruise missile into the East Sea on the morning of the 25th.

A government source told SBS that "North Korea test-fired several cruise missiles into the East Sea between 8 am and 9 am."

North Korea's missile launch is the fifth this year, but today is the first cruise missile launch this year.

North Korea recently launched a cruise missile in September last year.

North Korea fired a new long-range cruise missile on September 13 last year and announced that it flew 1,500 km. The Joint Chiefs of Staff is known that North Korea is analyzing the specifications of the projectile today.

When North Korea fires a ballistic missile, the Joint Chiefs of Staff announces trade-related information, but it does not appear to be announcing today as it is a cruise missile.
