The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) reported today that it detected the launch by North Korea of an "unidentified projectile in an easterly direction", which is the third Pyongyang test in the last nine days.
The brief statement from the South Korean Army did not provide more information about the projectile, while the Japanese government has pointed out that it could be a ballistic missile.
On January 5 and 11, the North Korean regime fired what it claims are hypersonic missiles, although Seoul and Tokyo have insisted in their analyzes that they are ballistic missiles that show great maneuverability.
