North Korea has fired a suspected ballistic missile into the sea, according to its neighbors’ militaries, apparently extending its streak of weapons tests this year amid a prolonged freeze in nuclear negotiations with the United States

SEOUL, South Korea -- North Korea on Saturday fired a suspected ballistic missile into the sea, according to its neighbors’ militaries, apparently extending its streak of weapons tests this year amid a prolonged freeze in nuclear negotiations with the United States.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said it detected a single launch of a presumed ballistic missile from an area near the North Korean capital of Pyongyang toward the country’s eastern waters, but it didn’t immediately say how far the weapon flew.

The flight details were similar to North Korea’s previous launch on Sunday that was also conducted from the area of Sunan near Pyongyang. North Korean state media said that launch was designed to test a camera system it plans to install on a spy satellite that is under development.

South Korea’s presidential office said national security adviser Suh Hoon will preside over an emergency National Security Council meeting to discuss the launch. There was no immediate comment about the launch by the U.S. government or military.

“The missile was fired just as the international community is responding to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, while also in the middle of the Beijing Paralympics,” said Kishi, who canceled an appearance at a military academy graduation to respond to the launch.

“This is absolutely unacceptable,” he told reporters.

I guess we delayed our missile test because we “care” more than Kim.

Go Biden! From Trump to this. We’ll be lucky were all not hunkering down in some crater by the time these misfits are done.

Even Kim sees Biden as being weak and ineffective.

“...suspected ballistic missile...”

Well, that’s better than a non-ballistic missile.

Shouldn’t it be an alleged ballistic missile?

“ North Korea fires suspected ballistic missile into sea”.

Kaiju are notoriously hard to kill.
