North Korea launched multiple ballistic missiles into the eastern sea, South Korea and the United States are analyzing

China News Service, September 12. According to Yonhap News Agency, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (Joint Staff) reported on the 12th that North Korea launched multiple ballistic missiles from the Wonsan area to the eastern sea at around 5:20 a.m. that day. The missiles flew about 250 kilometers away. South Korea and the United States are analyzing the specific parameters.

According to reports, North Korea fired missiles at an uninhabited island in the eastern sea that day, which is often used as a weapons test firing range. According to analysis, the North Korean projectile may be aimed at the "Freedom Blade" multi-domain joint military exercise conducted by South Korea, the United States, and Japan on the high seas southeast of Jeju from the 7th to the 11th.

The report also mentioned that it is speculated that the weapons launched by North Korea are likely to be the "Hwasong-11" short-range ballistic missile and a 600mm super large rocket launcher. North Korea may launch two weapons of different models one after another to test the performance of related weapon systems.

Yonhap News Agency pointed out that this is the second time North Korea has launched a ballistic missile after 23 days, and it is also the 13th time it has launched a ballistic missile this year. North Korea launched more than 10 short-range ballistic missiles from the Pyongyang area to the eastern sea at around 5 pm on the 20th of last month. It is speculated that North Korea may have launched a 600mm super large rocket launcher (KN-25) at that time. At that time, South Korea and the United States held a routine joint military exercise "Ulchi Freedom Shield", so North Korea's projectiles attracted attention.
