According to preliminary data, the missile was launched from the Wonsan area and flew more than 700 kilometers. After that, it disappeared, which may indicate a failed launch, the media reported.
The South Korean military is closely monitoring the situation in the north of the Korean Peninsula and has provided relevant information to the American side.
Our armed forces are closely monitoring various actions of North Korea within the framework of the strong combined defense posture of South Korea and the United States and maintain the potential and readiness to respond to any provocation with overwhelming force.
