North Korea fired at least one ballistic missile toward waters off its east coast on Saturday, according to South Korea and Japan, with Pyongyang later confirming the launch.
South Korea’s military said the missile was launched from the Wonsan area and travelled about 700 kilometres toward the Sea of Japan, also known as the East Sea. North Korea said it had tested a strategic intermediate-range missile incorporating artificial intelligence.
Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and a prominent government spokesperson, claimed the missile could adjust its trajectory while flying at low altitude and that AI had been integrated into the system. She also asserted that such an attack could not be evaded. Kim Jong Un said he expected the technology to become widely available internationally within several years.
The launch followed renewed tension between North and South Korea after three South Korean soldiers were injured by mine explosions in the demilitarised zone in September, with one losing a foot. Seoul accused Pyongyang of responsibility and demanded an apology. North Korea denied involvement.
North Korea is subject to United Nations sanctions over its nuclear and weapons programmes, which it says are intended to deter an attack by a hostile state.
