Date: 2023-11-21 Author: Dima Zakharov Categories: TECHNOLOGY
South Korea has warned North Korea against violating United Nations Security Council resolutions that prohibit the use of Pyongyang's ballistic missile technology. Japan, responding to the situation, issued an emergency alert through its J-Alert system for residents in the southern part of the country, including the Okinawa prefecture, urging them to take precautions against the potential threat posed by the North Korean rocket.
On Tuesday, Japan's Coast Guard reported that North Korea had informed them of the launch towards the Yellow and East China Seas. The South Korean Maritime Safety Agency cautioned that the launch occurred in the same direction as the previous two attempts.
A day before the launch, North Korea had notified Japan of its plans to attempt another rocket launch within the next ten days, aiming to place its first reconnaissance satellite into orbit. The international community closely watches these developments, as they have significant implications for regional and global security.
