On Friday morning, June 28, 2024, the South Korean military released a video showing a North Korean missile spiraling abnormally and then exploding in the initial stages of flight, refuting North Korea's claim of a successful missile test. North Korea stated that the missile successfully separated its warheads and accurately hit three designated targets, but South Korea and the US military analysis concluded that the missile exploded in the early stages of flight, indicating a failed launch. South Korea's assessment highlighted the instability during flight as the cause of the explosion and labeled North Korea's claims as deceit and exaggeration, suggesting that the released photos of the test were likely manipulated or reused from previous launches.
