Some experts have said North Korea is trying to perfect its weapons technology and pressure the United States into offering concessions like sanctions relief amid long-stalled disarmament talks. North Korea also might view the U.S. preoccupation with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ukraine conflict<\/a> as a chance to accelerate testing activity without any serious response from Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/your-military\/2022\/01\/31\/n-korea-confirms-test-of-missile-capable-of-striking-us-bases-in-guam\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/norks.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">N.

No damage to vessels or aircraft has been reported, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf North Korea deliberately carried out the missile launch while the international community is distracted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, such an act is absolutely unforgivable,\u201d he told reporters. \u201cWhatever the motives are, North Korea\u2019s repeated missile launches are absolutely inexcusable and we cannot overlook considerable missile and nuclear advancement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South Korean officials said they detected the launch from the North\u2019s capital area and expressed \u201cdeep concerns and grave regret\u201d over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During an emergency National Security Council meeting, top South Korean officials said the timing of the launch, during Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, \u201cis not desirable at all for peace and stability in the world and on the Korean Peninsula,\u201d the presidential Blue House said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. Indo-Pacific Command later Sunday condemned the launch and called on North Korea to refrain from further destabilizing acts. A statement said the U.S. commitment to the defense of South Korea and Japan \u201cremains ironclad,\u201d though Sunday\u2019s launch didn\u2019t pose an immediate threat to U.S. territory and that of its allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2362\" height=\"1573\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22058020533175.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22058020533175.jpg.jpg 2362w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22058020533175.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22058020533175.jpg.jpg?resize=768,511 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22058020533175.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,682 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22058020533175.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1023 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22058020533175.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1364 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2362px) 100vw, 2362px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This photo provided by the North Korean government shows North Korean leader Kim Jong Un speaks in a ruling party meeting in Pyongyang, North Korea on Feb. 26, 2022. South Korea\u2019s military said Sunday, Feb. 27, North Korea has fired a suspected missile into the sea off of its eastern coast.

(Korean Central News Agency\/Korea News Service via AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The launch came a day after North Korea made its first response to the Ukraine war in the form of an article by a government analyst that expressed support for Russia and slammed the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe basic cause of the Ukraine incident lies in the high-handedness and arbitrariness of the United States, which has ignored Russia\u2019s legitimate calls for security guarantees and only sought a global hegemony and military dominance while clinging to its sanctions campaigns,\u201d Ri Ji Song, a researcher at a North Korean state-run institute on international politics, said in a post published on the website of the Foreign Ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ri accused Washington of \u201carrogance\u201d and \u201cdouble standards\u201d because it describes its rivals\u2019 defense measures as provocations or injustices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The former Soviet Union was North Korea\u2019s biggest aid provider before its disintegration in the early 1990s. Russian President Vladimir Putin has been pushing to restore his country\u2019s ties with North Korea in what is seen as a bid to regain its traditional domains of influence and secure more allies to better deal with the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leif-Eric Easley, a professor at Ewha University in Seoul, said the Biden administration needs to show that it maintains a strategic focus on the Indo-Pacific region, including by responding sternly to Pyongyang\u2019s provocations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNorth Korea is not going to do anyone the favor of staying quiet while the world deals with Russia\u2019s aggression against Ukraine,\u201d Easley said. \u201cPyongyang has an ambitious schedule of military modernization. The Kim regime\u2019s strength and legitimacy have become tied to testing ever-better missiles.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/2022\/01\/26\/north-korea-fires-2-suspected-missiles-in-sixth-launch-in-2022\/\">North Korea last month conducted seven rounds of missile tests<\/a>, a record number of monthly launches since leader Kim Jong Un took power in late 2011. North Korea halted testing activity after the start of the Winter Olympics in China, its last major ally and economic pipeline, earlier this month. Some experts had predicted it would resume launches and possibly test bigger weapons after the Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kim sent a message to Chinese President Xi Jinping after the Olympics calling for further consolidating bilateral ties \u201cinto the invincible one\u201d in the face of what he called \u201cthe undisguised hostile policy and military threat of the U.S. and its satellite forces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Xi replied to Kim last week, saying China is ready to strengthen relations, according to North Korea\u2019s state media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S.-led diplomacy aimed at convincing North Korea to give up its nuclear program in return for economic and political rewards collapsed in early 2019 when then-President Donald Trump rejected Kim\u2019s calls for extensive sanctions relief in exchange for limited denuclearization steps during their second summit in Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. officials have since repeatedly called for the resumption of talks without preconditions, but Pyongyang has said it won\u2019t return to the negotiating table unless Washington ends its hostility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Yamaguchi reported from Tokyo.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The missile launch was the eighth
