DPRK fired a short-range ballistic missile on Thursday toward the sea east of the Korean Peninsula, South Korea's military said, marking the latest in a series of weapons tests this year.⁣
⁣
"Our armed forces detected a short-range ballistic missile launched from the Wonsan region …. at approximately 5:00 PM," the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said in a statement to the media.⁣
⁣
The JCS had indicated earlier that the missile was fired in the direction of the East Sea.⁣
⁣
The launch followed a series of tests this year, including short-range ballistic missiles, artillery rockets and other tactical weapons designed to bolster the isolated state's military capabilities.⁣
⁣
The most recent confirmed weapons test, in late June, involved an upgraded 240-mm multiple-launch rocket system, tactical ballistic missiles and a 155-mm self-propelled howitzer, DPRK state media KCNA said.⁣
⁣
The South Korean military said in a statement that it had heightened its alert for further firings, closely sharing information with the United States and Japan.⁣
