According to Agence France-Presse, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff stated that North Korea launched one unidentified flying object into the East Sea (Sea of Japan). The last time North Korea launched multiple ballistic missiles into the East Sea was on March 14, when South Korea and the United States were conducting their annual spring joint military exercises. Associated Press noted that earlier this week, North Korea stated that leader Kim Jong Un had inspected an upgraded test of a solid-fuel engine for weapons, calling it a significant development for enhancing North Korea's strategic arsenal.
