On June 26th, North Korea launched a ballistic missile, with South Korea suspecting it exploded in the East Sea (Sea of Japan), ending in failure. However, Pyongyang later announced through state media a successful test of a multiple-warhead ballistic missile. South Korea's military analyzed the launch photos released by North Korea and deemed their claims exaggerated. The missile exploded above the sea after flying over 250 kilometers, leading to South Korea's assumption of a failed test. Despite this, North Korea's state newspaper heralded the successful test, highlighting the importance of achieving advanced missile technology goals.
