North Korea fires ballistic missile into East Sea: Seoul

South Korean authorities express regret that latest launch comes amid crisis in Ukraine

North Korea has fired a “presumed” ballistic missile into the East Sea, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said Sunday morning, with Seoul criticizing Pyongyang for launching the projectile amid the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.

“Our military on Feb. 27 morning at around 7:52 a.m. detected a single projectile, presumed to be a ballistic missile, fired from the Sunan area into the East Sea,” the JCS said, referring to a district near Pyongyang. The DPRK launched missiles from an airfield in Sunan last month, according to the South Korean military, and North Korean state media said that it tested “tactical guided missiles.”
