One more. North Korea once again fired a ballistic missile on Sunday, September 25, which ended its journey in the Sea of Japan. This shooting comes at a time when an American aircraft carrier is in South Korea for exercises and a few days before a visit to Seoul by American Vice President Kamala Harris.
North Korea has been engaged in a series of tests for several months, while negotiations with the international community on its nuclear program have stalled. The North Korean regime also adopted in early September a new doctrine proclaiming that the country would never renounce atomic weapons.
The projectile fired on Sunday traveled about 600 km at a maximum altitude of 60 km and at a speed of Mach 5 (about 6,000 km / h), according to the South Korean army. The Japanese Coast Guard has issued a warning to ships in the area where the missile fell.
