This is the best summary I could come up with:
The early morning launch came just hours after Pyongyang sent another flurry of trash-bearing balloons southward, this time forcing a three-hour halt to flights in and out of South Korea’s Incheon airport.
The missile took off from an area in or around North Korea’s capital Pyongyang at about 5:30 am (4:30 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday) and South Korean and U.S. intelligence agencies were conducting a detailed analysis, Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.
The test follows North Korea launching hundreds more trash-carrying balloons southward on Monday and Tuesday, the latest in a series of border barrages that have sparked a tit-for-tat propaganda campaign.
Late Wednesday, South Korea’s military revealed that it scrambled fighter jets the previous day as a Chinese unmanned aerial vehicle entered its air defense zone, an area wider than the country’s airspace, and remained around 50 minutes before leaving.
South Korea and the U.S. also staged joint air drills Wednesday involving around 30 aircraft, including Washington’s advanced stealth fighter jet, the F-22 Raptor.
On Tuesday, Yoon visited a U.S. aircraft carrier that arrived in South Korea at the weekend for joint military drills aimed at countering North Korean threats.
