North Korea launched an unidentified ballistic missile toward the East Sea, also known as the Sea of Japan, on June 25, 2024. The launch was confirmed by multiple sources, including the Japan Coast Guard and South Korea's military, and reported by Yonhap News Agency. The missile, which is suggested to be of a shorter range variety, appeared to have splashed down just minutes after its launch, and it likely fell outside Japan's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). This event underscores ongoing regional security tensions and concerns.
