North Korea missile launch hints at upgraded weapons exports to Russia
- North Korea’s recent missile launch may be a test of upgraded exports to Russia, observers say, as the war in Ukraine gives Pyongyang opportunities to improve its weapons.
- At about 6am on Wednesday, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) detected a missile launched from the North’s southeastern port city of Wonsan.
- It flew roughly 700km (435 miles) eastward before falling into the Sea of Japan, or East Sea.
