North Korea Test-Launches Another Missile As World Focuses On Ukraine CrisisNorth Korea resumed missile testing on Sunday following a pause during the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games. The latest is a suspected mid-range ballistic rocket, according to Bloomberg.
Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi told reporters in Tokyo the suspected ballistic missile reached a maximum altitude of around 385 miles and flew 186 miles before splashing down in the waters outside Japan's exclusive economic zone.
South Korea's military said the ballistic missile launch occurred at 0752 local time near Pyongyang's main airport on the waters off its east coast.
Weapon experts told Bloomberg the missile's flight path was unusual and indicated the likely test of a medium-to-intermediate range ballistic missile.
The launch comes two weeks before South Korea holds a presidential election. It also comes days after Russia invaded Ukraine, and Washington is preoccupied with bolstering NATO. ..................
