The South Korean military was on high alert and maintaining full readiness posture in close coordination with the United States, the JCS said in a statement.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Japan was collecting information on the missile, and that they have not confirmed any damage within the country related to the launch.
US Indo-Pacific Command said the latest launches did not pose an immediate threat to US personnel or territory, or to its allies, but said the North’s unlawful weapons programs had a destabilizing effect. The launch comes two days after North Korea test-fired what it called two strategic cruise missiles from a submarine, and less than a week after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered the military to intensify drills to deter and respond to a “real war” if necessary.
