북, 두발의 미상체 또 동해안으로 발사

한국의 합동 참모 본부(합참)은  북한이 화요일 새벽에  동해안으로 두발의 미상체를 발사했다고  발표했다.
이는 최근에만 네번째 발사이다.

이번 발사는 한미 양국 군이 합동 군사훈련을 축소한지 하루 만에 나온 것이다. 

북한 김정은과 도널드 트럼프 미국 대통령이 비핵화 회담 재개에 합의한 이후 처음으로 발사한 것은 지난달 25일이었다. 그 당시 북한은 2기의 미사일을 시험 발사했다.

South Korean media outlet Yonhap reported that the projectiles were fired from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's South Hwanghae Province. In a statement the JCS indicated that officials are "monitoring the situation in case of additional launches."

The launches come just a day after both US and South Korean militaries scaled down joint military drills.



Pyonyang's first launch since North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and US President Donald Trump agreed on resuming denuclearization talks came on July 25. At the time, officials revealed that the country had deployed two projectiles into the Sea of Japan, and that the missile launches were a "warning" against "South Korean warmongers."

Following the first initial test, South Korean presidential official Cheong Wa-Dae revealed to Yonhap that the projectiles that North Korea had tested were of a "new kind of short-range ballistic missile."

Following the three missile tests by North Korea, Trump has responded by stating that he is unbothered by the Pyongyang's action, stressing that his "relationship is very good with Chairman Kim."





Prior to the recent tests, North Korea hadn't conducted any missile launches since May 9.
