The launch occurred from the Hamgyong-Namdo province at around
09:00 local time (04:00 Baku time). It is believed that the
missiles fell into the sea. The South Korean military confirmed
they observed preparations for the launch and were actively
preparing for the possibility. They are sharing intelligence with
the United States in response to the launch,
Azernews reports.
This missile test marks the latest in a series of provocative
actions by North Korea, following a short-range ballistic missile
launch on May 8.
While North Korea has conducted numerous missile tests in recent
months, this latest cruise missile launch highlights their ongoing
development of long-range missile technology. Cruise missiles are
particularly concerning because they are more difficult to detect
and intercept than traditional ballistic missiles due to their
flight patterns at lower altitudes. Analysts are closely monitoring
the situation, as such tests often signal the development of more
sophisticated and evasive weapons systems.
