North Korea launched a ballistic missile into the Sea of Japan early this morning (3rd), causing Japan and South Korea to be on alert. Kim Yo-jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, later pointed out that what North Korea tested was a medium-range strategic missile introduced with artificial intelligence (AI) technology, and mocked Japan and South Korea for their limited ability to track missiles.
"Reuters" reported that Kim Yo-jong said in a statement that under the personal supervision of leader Kim Jong-un, North Korea's "firepower unit with exclusive special missions" conducted a drill and launched a medium-range missile towards the country's eastern coast.
Kim Yo Jong also quoted the missile flight distance statements issued by South Korea and Japan, claiming that the content revealed that Japan and South Korea have very limited capabilities in tracking missiles. "Whenever we launch missiles in a wave-like ballistic mode, the enemy cannot track the target from the first jumping point."
Kim Yo Jong also emphasized that both Japan and South Korea "should face up to the speed of missiles." Moreover, North Korea has also introduced artificial intelligence technology to its missiles so that the missiles can change their trajectory while flying at low altitudes. "In other words, this means that there is no way to avoid such an attack."

North Korea test-fired an intermediate-range ballistic missile, with Kim Yo-jong claiming it features AI-driven maneuverability to evade South Korean and Japanese defenses. The launch follows heightened tensions over recent border landmine incidents.
