North Korea has largely avoided missile failures over the past few years but its latest attempted show of force appears to have failed in flight.
A man watches a news broadcast with file footage of a North Korean missile test, at a train station in Seoul on June 26, 2024.orth Korea fired a suspected ballistic missile that appears to have failed in flight, in an attempted show of force about a week after it struck a military pact with Russia that alarmed the U.S. and its allies.
Before the latest missile test, North Korea assailed the U.S. for sending the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier group to the Korean Peninsula for joint training drills that included Japan and South Korea. North Korea has denounced joint drills as a prelude to invasion and bristled at U.S. aircraft carrier groups positioned off South Korea.
On the same day, the U.S. and its allies Japan and South Korea condemned in “the strongest possible terms” the deepening military cooperation between Russia and North Korea, calling it a grave concern and a threat to stability.
