One of the two missiles North Korea fired on Thursday was a 'new type' that South Korean officials hadn't seen before https://t.co/5H2z0pgxvo

690 km range with 50 km max altitude sounds very odd, and is almost certainly outside the capabilities of the KN-23. https://t.co/Qz2SIMWqEN

That one of the two #NorthKorea missiles flew to 690km is however not consistent with the May SRBM tests . . "We've found some features that indicate that the second one could be a new type, which requires more analysis and assessment," - #SouthKorea JCS…

@renewableworks @MarineTraffic @Khaaasteh @planetlabs @stenabulk Our analysis is that if the oil is heading to China (regardless of UK flag or ownership), it will not be stopped by the IRGC given China's importance as top importer of Iranian oil. If China…

BREAKING: @DefenceHQ have released footage of HMS Montrose accompanying the Stena Important and the Sea Ploeg vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Presumably taken from Montrose's Wildcat? https://t.co/pGlUhRFASs

@DefenceHQ I suspect we're going to be seeing a lot more of this until tensions cool. In the meantime, routine reminder: there is still a British-flagged vessel, the Stena Impero, being held by the Iranian government having been illegally seized. That matters.

Dear @IDF, why do you feel the need to call my husband up for reserve duty whenever I’m on maternity leave?

North Korea test-launched 2 short-range missiles, Seoul confirmed. JCS says the altitude was around 50 km both, but that one flew around 430 km while another traveled around 690 kilometers. A JCS official said that it “appears to be a new type of missile.”…
