South Korea’s National Security Council condemned the North for escalating tensions, calling its moves a violation of a 2018 bilateral military pact that bans “hostile acts” in the border area. The unprecedented frequency of North Korea’s missile launches has raised concerns it may be preparing to resume testing of nuclear bombs for the first time since 2017. Some analysts do not expect any tests before neighbouring China concludes a key ruling Communist Party congress, which begins on Oct. 16.
Japan’s coast guard also reported the launch, which was at least the 41st ballistic missile test by the North this year. South Korea’s military will hold its annual Hoguk defense drills starting next week, including field training simulated to counter the North’s nuclear and missile threats, it added.
They aided the North’s weapons programs and helped evade international sanctions by conducting research or supplying finance and materials through overseas workers, smuggling and ship operations, the ministries said.
