North Korea carried out 4 missile launches in a week for the first time in history, Japanese Deputy Defense Minister Toshiro Ino said.
On Sunday night, the DPRK carried out 2 launches, both in the direction of the Sea of Japan, at a range of 400 and 350 km. According to the Japanese military, the missiles had a flight altitude of 50 km, and they had a variable flight path. The missiles fell outside the exclusive economic zone of Japan.
“North Korea has carried out four tests in one week for the first time,” Yino said.
According to him, such actions by the DPRK threaten “the security of Japan, the region and the international community.” He said that a protest was made to Pyongyang through China.
Pyongyang launches missiles against the background of the planned joint exercises of the navies of South Korea, the United States and Japan. Today’s missile launches were the 22nd and 23rd for the DPRK since the beginning of 2022.
