#BREAKING North Korea launches were short-range missiles: South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff

Apogee- 50km, range- 430km, multiple launched, US defence sources say it’s similar to launches in May, almost confirming it’s the Iskander-type SRBM, the KN-23. All we need now is the pictures, hopefully KCNA will provide tomorrow. https://t.co/wDiRGRGSdf

This fits the profile of the KN-23 solid-fuel nuclear-capable missile the #DPRK tested in May. Low apogee is a feature, not a bug. I really dislike this missile. https://t.co/VBeCkHhxMB

North Korea’s short-range missile test took place as John Bolton wrapped up a visit to Seoul. Kim regime called him a “war monger” and “human defect” following comments he made in May after last missile test.

@nktpnd @rachelminyoung1 @andreilankov MFA pronouncements last week & coverage of KJU’s submarine visit "were carefully calibrated to step up pressure on US while leaving the door open for talks. NK media’s handling of today’s missile launches may lend some…

That’s the ballgame. Flying to 430 km with a 50 km apogee is definitely a KN-23. https://t.co/3v1gXuzcK4
