The Joint Chiefs of Staff announced on the morning of the 25th that "North Korea fired three unidentified ballistic missiles in an eastern direction."
According to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, North Korea fired three ballistic missiles one after another into the East Sea at 6:00 am, 6:37 am and 6:42 am today.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff has not released specific flight specifications such as range and altitude so far.
However, when the Joint Chiefs of Staff announced to the media and said that it was more broadly 'east' instead of 'East Sea', there are observations that it is a medium- and long-range missile.
In particular, the possibility of an ICBM is being raised as the South Korean and US intelligence authorities have been paying close attention to the trend of preparations to launch an intercontinental ballistic missile ICBM near Pyongyang Sunan Airfield until recently.
It is known that our military authorities have been preparing for the time from yesterday to today with the highest probability of launching an ICBM.
Today's launch took place the day after President Biden left Japan yesterday afternoon, who visited South Korea and Japan in turn.
It has a strong character of armed demonstrations aimed at the results of the Korea-US summit and the US-Japan summit.
It is also the first armed protest in four days of the Korea-US summit and the second provocation since the inauguration of the Yun Seok-yeol government.
It has been 13 days since the launch of three short-range ballistic missiles presumed to be 'super-large multiple rocket launchers' from the Sunan area of Pyongyang on the 12th, and it is the 17th armed protest this year.
It is expected that a large-scale joint South Korea-U.S. joint exercise will be held early next month in which US strategic assets such as aircraft carriers are mobilized.
