This launch occurred at a time when the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un has been particularly active in the military context.
Two weeks ago, he visited a nuclear submarine construction site and watched the testing of a “new type” of anti-aircraft missile.
At the time, the official North Korean news agency KCNA reported that Kim Jong-un oversaw the testing of a “new type of long-range, high-altitude anti-aircraft missile” over the Sea of Japan (East Sea, for North Korea) and that the ongoing project on “new secret underwater weapons” was presented to him.
In early November, the South Korean army announced that North Korea had launched another unidentified ballistic missile into the Sea of Japana day after Pyongyang threatened to retaliate against sanctions imposed by the United States.
