North Korea launched an unidentified projectile into the seathe South Korean Army reported Wednesday, in what would be Pyongyang’s first military test in 2022.
The projectile fell into the sea east of this Asian peninsula, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement, without giving further details about the launch.
Between September and October 2021, the communist country announced that it had carried out successful tests of long-range cruise missiles, ballistic missiles from a submarine and from a train, in addition to what it defined as a hypersonic missile test.
Since then, North Korea’s military activity has stalled while the communist regime is still silent on the United States’ calls for negotiations.
At an important party meeting last week, Kim Jong-un did not mention the United States and advocated further developing its military capabilities, in line with the strategy deployed in his ten-year mandate that has earned him significant international sanctions.
