According to South Korea's Yonhap News Agency on the morning of June 26, 2024, North Korea launched a suspected ballistic missile from the Pyongyang area towards the Sea of Japan, which exploded in the air over the East Sea in the region of Wonsan, Gangwon Province, after flying about 250 kilometers. South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff indicated that it may have been a failed test of a hypersonic weapon. Observers noted more visible smoke in the border region between North and South Korea, suggesting engine problems leading to the explosion. This launch, the first since May 30, has prompted continued cooperation between South Korea, US, and Japan in monitoring North Korea's actions and condemning provocations that threaten peace and stability in the region.
