North Korean state media has not reported anything about ballistic missiles launched from the suburbs of the capital Pyongyang toward the Sea of Japan on the 4th.
It is unusual for North Korea to not announce the launch of ballistic missiles the next day, and there is a lot of interest in the background.
On the 4th, North Korea launched a ballistic missile toward the Sea of Japan from the vicinity of Sunan, where the international airport is located on the outskirts of the capital Pyongyang, and the South Korean army has an altitude of about 780 km and a flight distance of about 470 km. I made it clear that it was.
North Korea's state media has not reported anything about this so far, and state television also broadcasts news about the production status of farms and steelworks.
North Korea has also announced the launch of a long-range cruise missile that was carried out three days ago the day after launching a short-range ballistic missile called a "tactical guided missile" in January. It is unusual not to announce the launch of the missile the next day.
Also, in March, when a missile presumed to be ICBM = intercontinental ballistic missile class was launched from the same Sunan and exploded immediately after it failed, there was no announcement, but it was launched at an angle higher than usual "Lofted" This time, which appears to have been launched in "orbit," it is flying at a higher altitude than the ballistic missiles launched by North Korea in February and March as "an important experiment for the development of reconnaissance satellites."
There is no view from the countries concerned that the launch has failed, and there is a lot of interest in the background of the lack of announcement by North Korea.
