North Korea fires what appears to be a long-range ballistic missile, South Korea says, marking a potential new round of confrontation.
Japan’s Coast Guard said the missile was launched at 9:59 a.m. local time and fell into the Sea of Japan, also known as the East Sea, at 11:15 a.m., citing the Ministry of Defense. It warned ships in the fall area to exercise caution and look out for further information. The flight time, if confirmed, would be similar to those of North Korean missiles tested in March and April of this year.
A communique from the NATO meeting on Tuesday urged North Korea to abandoned its ballistic missile and nuclear weapons programs, which are in violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions banning them. “We call on to accept the repeated offers of dialogue put forward by all parties concerned, including Japan, the United States, and the Republic of Korea,” the communique said. But North Korea has shown no signs that it is willing to engage in negotiations with Washington or Seoul.
