Footage shared on social media by a nearby resident and verified by Reuters showed smoke and flames rising from the military base. The fiery failure threatened to overshadow Seoul’s efforts to demonstrate military prowess in the face of North Korea’s increasing capabilities. U.S. President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida condemned North Korea’s test in the “strongest terms,” the European Union called it a “reckless and deliberately provocative action,” and U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the launch and said it was a violation of Security Council resolutions.
Neither North Korea’s government nor its state media have reported on the launch or disclosed what type of missile was used.
