The FAA said Tuesday that it briefly paused departures at some West Coast airports Monday evening. It’s unclear if the action was connected to missile test.
A U.S. official told Reuters the FAA paused operations for less than 15 minutes"due to initial reports of events in the Indo-Pacific region," without directly tying it to the missile launch., the geographic combatant command responsible for the region, confirmed North Korea's ballistic missile launch.
"We are aware of the ballistic missile launch and are consulting closely with our allies and partners. While we have assessed that this event does not pose an immediate threat to U.S. personnel or territory, or to our allies, the missile launch highlights the destabilizing impact of the DPRK's illicit weapons program," the command wrote, referencing the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Under his rule, the reclusive state has conducted its most powerful nuclear test, launched its first-ever intercontinental ballistic missile and threatened to send missiles into the waters near the U.S. territory of Guam.
