합참은 북한 발사체의 제원과 사거리 등을 분석 중이다.
북한 발사체가 탄도미사일로 확인되면 9일 만의 발사다.
앞서 북한은 지난 3일 원산 일대에서 동해상으로 탄도미사일을 발사했다. 당시 포착된 북한의 미사일은 700㎞ 이상을 비행했다.
이후 북한은 관영매체를 통해 김정은 국무위원장이 참관한 가운데 극초음속 중거리 탄도미사일을 발사했으며, 사거리는 1천㎞였다고 주장했다.
북한의 이번 발사는 한국 정부가 비무장지대(DMZ) 북한군 지뢰 폭발 사건에 대한 대응 성격으로 지난 8일 국산 극초음속 활공 비행체(HGV) 최초 시험발사 사실을 전격 공개한 지 4일 만에 이뤄졌다.

Lee Je-seok Advertising Research Institute announced that a private public service advertisement was carried out as a guerrilla campaign in the Gimpo and Paju areas and Yongsan Park to the effect that there was no discussion on safety of military personnel and measures to prevent recurrence after a North Korean landmine explosion in the Demilitarized Zone due to excessive political strife.
Local media reported that MKE, a state-owned defense company in Turkey, exported Alphi-I, a minefield clearing system, to Lithuania for the first time. Alpha-I is a system that neutralizes mines and creates a passage for troops and vehicles by spreading and exploding explosives. It has a 99% removal reliability for mines up to 1m deep, and is a wheeled, towed device that can be prepared for launch by two operators within 15 minutes.

Hanwha Ocean announced that it will establish a new 'Jang Bogo N Development Team' in line with the government's nuclear propulsion submarine development project, 'Jang Bogo N Project', and hire experts with more than 5 years of experience in five fields, including nuclear power and propulsion system design. We plan to accept documents until the 25th and establish an organic cooperation system by unifying cooperation channels with the government and the Navy.

North Korea launched several ballistic missiles from the Pyongyang area into the East Sea on the morning of the 12th, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff announced that they flew more than 900 km. This occurred four days after South Korea revealed the test launch of a domestically produced hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV), suggesting that competition between South and North Korea to develop hypersonic missiles is intensifying.

North Korea launched multiple ballistic missiles toward the East Sea on Monday from the Pyongyang area, with missiles flying over 900 kilometers, according to South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff, less than two weeks after a suspected hypersonic missile test and amid heightened tensions following a DMZ land mine blast that injured three South Korean soldiers.

North Korea launched an unidentified projectile toward the East Sea on Monday, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff reported, following a similar launch from the Wonsan area on October 3, which state media said was overseen by Kim Jong-un as part of training for a hypersonic strategic weapon system.
