North Korea fires at least two ballistic missiles from its coast, according to Japan’s Defense Ministry.
North Korea launched three ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan after the end of US President Joe Biden’s visit to South Korea and Japan. At the same time, the West noted that the trajectory of one of the missiles had “unusual” characteristics. On Friday, May 27, according to CNN.
“The rocket went up twice and then went down,” the report said.
As suggested by the news agency’s interlocutor, in this way the DPRK tried to test the rocket’s ability to re -enter the Earth’s atmosphere to hit the target.
“The second phase of a possible double-arc missile could be related to the separation of the warhead from the main missile. But it’s not entirely clear if it’s part of the planned flight route,” the source told CNN.
Officials stressed that the US intelligence analysis on all three test launches is still in the early stages.
“It is not clear which of the three launched missiles has a unique flight pattern,” the US stressed.
In recent months, North Korea, which is in international isolation and subject to severe sanctions, has already conducted several missile tests. The United States has not ruled out that Pyongyang may also test nuclear weapons for the first time since 2017.
