This missile test follows a series of military activities by\u2064 North Korea, including the deployment\u200d of troops to Russia to support its operations in Ukraine. South Korean officials\u2063 had previously indicated that North\u2064 Korean leader Kim Jong \u2062Un might be preparing for an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senate-confirms-kathleen-hicks-as-deputy-defense-secretary\/\" title=\"Senate Confirms Kathleen Hicks as Deputy Defense Secretary\">intercontinental ballistic missile<\/a> (ICBM) launch, leading to Wednesday&#8217;s confirmation of the missile launch from Pyongyang, which lasted 87 minutes\u2014record duration \u2063for North Korea&#8217;s missile tests. The Joint Chiefs of Staff noted \u200dthat the missile was likely fired at\u2063 a high angle, and no damage or casualties were \u2062reported. However, \u2064intelligence suggests another ICBM launch could occur next Tuesday, coinciding with the\u2064 U.S. presidential election. The U.S. and National Security Council condemned the \u2064missile test, reflecting international concerns \u2064over North Korea&#8217;s escalating military activities.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">North Korea launches ballistic missile toward Sea of Japan<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1869067\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/north-korea\/\" title=\"\">North Korea<\/a> launched a long-range ballistic missile on Wednesday in the direction of the Sea of Japan, adding to the recent increased geopolitical tensions in the area.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The missile launch comes after the communist country on the Korean peninsula has increased its military activity in recent days. First, reports surfaced that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/3206867\/north-korean-troops-move-into-kursk-as-russia-pushes-to-regain-territory-lost-to-ukraine-in-august\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">North Korean troops entered Russia<\/a> and were preparing to aid the country in its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/3201405\/presence-of-north-korean-troops-in-russia-raises-stakes-in-ukraine-war\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">war with Ukraine<\/a>. Then, there were reports that several thousand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3203584\/north-korean-troops-expected-attack-ukraine-soon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">North Korean troops<\/a> were dispatched to the Kursk region of Russia along the Russia-Ukraine border that is currently occupied by Ukrainian forces.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then, on Tuesday, South Korean officials relayed that North Korea&rsquo;s supreme leader, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kim-jong-un\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Kim Jong Un<\/a>, was making preparations to launch an intercontinental ballistic missile, according to multiple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/north-korea-launches-missile-toward-sea-japan-longest-attempt-so-far-reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reports<\/a>. On Wednesday, there was confirmation that the Democratic People&rsquo;s Republic of Korea officially launched the ICBM toward Japan. The ICBM was reportedly launched at 7:10 a.m. from Pyongyang and traveled in the air for 87 minutes &ndash; a record time for any missile launched by the DPRK.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It is believed the North Korean ballistic missile is a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">long-range ballistic missile fired<\/a> at a high angle,&rdquo; the Joint Chiefs of Staff reported in a released statement.<\/p>\n<p>There was no damage or casualties from the launch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, the DPRK may not be finished with its missile tests. Intelligence officials from South Korea claimed that North Korea could conduct another ICBM launch next Tuesday, the day of the United States presidential election.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The United States and the National Security Council condemned the missile test with a statement on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The United States strongly condemns the Democratic People&rsquo;s Republic of Korea&rsquo;s (DPRK) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-postpones-intercontinental-ballistic-missile-test-launch-to-avoid-angering-putin\/\" title=\"Biden Admin Postpones Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Test Launch To Avoid Angering Putin\">intercontinental ballistic missile test<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2024\/10\/30\/statement-by-nsc-spokesperson-sean-savett-on-the-democratic-peoples-republic-of-koreas-icbm-test\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said NSC spokesman Sean Savett<\/a>. &ldquo;This launch is a flagrant violation of multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions. While U.S. INDOPACOM has assessed it did not pose an immediate threat to U.S. personnel, or territory, or to our allies, this launch needlessly raises tensions and risks destabilizing the security situation in the region.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It only demonstrates that the DPRK continues to prioritize its unlawful weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs over the well-being of its people,&rdquo; Savett added. &ldquo;We urge all countries to condemn these violations and call on the DPRK to cease its destabilizing actions and engage in serious dialogue. The national security team is closely coordinating with our allies and partners. The United States will take all necessary measures to ensure the security of the American homeland and Republic of Korea and Japanese allies.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1869067\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1869067\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Korea fires long-range missile into Sea of Japan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2677,"featured_media":2361963,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/north-korea.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[40923,38717,32109,44063,32076],"class_list":["post-2361962","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-ballistic-missile","tag-defense-news","tag-north-korea","tag-sea-of-japan","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/north-korea.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2361962","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2677"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2361962"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2361962\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2361963"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2361962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2361962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2361962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
