North Korea launched an unidentified projectile into the East Sea on the afternoon of September 20.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff stated that they are analyzing the specifications and range of the North Korean projectile. If confirmed as a ballistic missile, this would mark a re-launch after eight days.
Previously, North Korea fired several short-range ballistic missiles on September 12, the day after the conclusion of the regular military exercise 'Freedom Edge' conducted by South Korea, the United States, and Japan.
On September 14, North Korean state media reported that the launch was part of a firepower training exercise that involved a mix of cruise and ballistic missiles, as well as multiple rocket launchers and drones.
