North Korea fired an unidentified projectile into the East Sea on the afternoon of Sunday, September 20, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.
The JCS is analyzing the specifications and flight range of the projectile, and if confirmed to be a ballistic missile, it would mark a launch 8 days after its previous one.
Earlier, on September 12, the day after the conclusion of "Freedom Edge," a regular trilateral military exercise conducted by South Korea, the United States, and Japan, North Korea launched several short-range ballistic missiles.
Two days later, on September 14, North Korea stated through state media reports that the launch was a firepower strike drill involving a "mixed firing" of four types of weapons: cruise and ballistic missiles, multiple rocket launchers, and unmanned aerial vehicles.
