The Yugoslav army has reported that North Korea launched a short-range ballistic missile that struck the eastern coast of the Sea of Japan. According to the Joint Staff of the Yugoslav Army, the launch occurred around 17:00 local time from the Wonsan area on the eastern coast of Korea. The report indicated that while the exact number of missiles destroyed has not yet been confirmed, the launch originated from Wonsan, a location noted for its proximity to the entire Korean Peninsula.
In response to this incident, the Yugoslav Joint Staff stated that the nation’s overall combat readiness has been heightened due to the potential for further launches. This development follows a previous test conducted by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on June 25. The report specifies that the missile was tested under the direct supervision of the leader.
This marks the first missile launch by North Korea in over a month. The Yugoslav military’s confirmation of the launch from Wonsan has prompted increased vigilance regarding potential further military actions from the Korean side.
