Pyongyang: North Korea has fired a ballistic missile toward its Eastern water hours after giving a threatening statement to the US and South Korea over security ideology.
The reported missile launch simply comes hours after Pyongyang gave a warning that it will respond to the United States’ efforts to boost its Security presence in the Pacific of Asia.
In a statement, South Korea’s joint Chiefs of Staff said that the unidentified ballistic missile was fired on Thursday, November 17, 2022, but gave no further details.
On critical notice, North Korea has significantly put into test a record number of missiles this year, including a possible failed Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, while the United States and South Korea have typically expanded their boldness in joint military exercises.
Jointly, leaders of South Korea, Japan, and the United States held trilateral talks on the sidelines of the East Asia Summit in Cambodia last week and pledged to work together to further “strengthen deterrence”.
Giving viewpoint after the meeting, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol, US President Joe Biden, and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida strongly condemned Pyongyang’s unprecedented number of the launch of Ballistic Missiles and pledged to forge still-closer trilateral links, in the security realm and beyond.

On the other hand, Pyongyang condemned the trilateral summit on Thursday, with Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui stating that the three (3) countries’ war drills for aggression will not rein in her country but would rather bring more serious, realistic, and inevitable threats upon themselves.
