ANKARA (AA) - North Korea launched at least one ballistic missile into the East Sea, South Korean media reported Sunday.
It is the third provocation since the inauguration of new South Korean President Yoon-Seok-yeol last month and the 18th since the beginning of 2022, according to state-run news agency, YNA.
Military authorities are analyzing details of the launch such as the missile’s range and altitude, it noted.
The agency also noted that military authorities believe that much of the preparation for the seventh nuclear test has recently been completed and an order to launch is waited to be given by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
