Coreea de Nord lansează o rachetă înaintea unor exerciţii militare majore SUA-Coreea de Sud

North Korea launched a ballistic missile into the sea off its eastern coast, just days before joint military exercises with the U.S. South Korea reported the launch occurred from Wonsan around 6 AM local time. This event follows a previous missile test and is seen as a message ahead of the upcoming drills aimed at countering North Korea's evolving nuclear capabilities. Analysts suggest the missile's type remains uncertain, with possibilities including a hypersonic missile or one launched from a submarine. Both South Korea and Japan condemned the launch, with Japan filing a formal protest. The U.S. Indo-Pacific Command stated the launch did not pose an immediate threat to U.S. personnel or allies.
