North Korea launched an unidentified projectile eastward on August 12. According to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, this marks the second launch in six days if the projectile is confirmed to be a ballistic missile.
Previously, on August 6, North Korea fired a short-range ballistic missile into the East Sea around 5 p.m. from the Wonsan area.
These two launches come ahead of the upcoming large-scale US-South Korea joint exercise, 'Ulchi Freedom Shield' (UFS), scheduled to begin on August 17.
