North Korea fired tactical guided missiles on Monday, state media KCNA said on Tuesday, the latest in a series of recent tests that highlighted its evolving missile programmes amid stalled denuclearisation talks.
U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Sung Kim urged Pyongyang to "cease its unlawful and destabilising activities" and reopen dialogue, saying he was open to meeting "without preconditions," the State Department said after a call with his South Korean and Japanese counterparts.
U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric also called the North's tests "increasingly concerning" during a briefing, calling for all parties to return to talks to defuse tension and promote a "very verifiable denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula."North Korea used the Sunan airport to test-fire the Hwasong-12 intermediate-range ballistic missile in 2017, with leader Kim Jong Un in attendance.
Kim Dong-yup, a former South Korea Navy officer who teaches at Seoul's Kyungnam University, said North Korea appears to have fired KN-24 SRBMs, which were last tested in March 2020 and flew 410 km to a maximum altitude of 50 km .
