News South Korea reluctant to say whether North Korea tested a missile on SaturdayROK admits the launch "runs against the intent" of 2018's inter-Korean military agreement, however
South Korea on Tuesday declined to confirm precisely what kind of weapons were tested by North Korea over the weekend, while stressing that Pyongyang’s behavior “runs against the intent” of last year’s DPRK-ROK military agreement. Saturday saw Pyongyang test what Seoul has described as several “short-range projectiles,” marking what experts widely agree was the country’s first missile launch since November 2017. ROK Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) spokesperson Kim Joon-rak today told a press briefing that the South Korean military had on Saturday detected “multiple short-range projectiles” being fired into the sea off the peninsula’s east coast between 0906 and 1055 KST. © Korea Risk Group.
