Nuclear-armed North Korea conducted what would be its largest missile test since 2017 on Sunday, sending a suspected intermediate-range ballistic missile soaring into space and sparking condemnation from the United States and its allies.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff reported that a projectile believed to be a single ballistic missile was launched about 7:52 a.m. from North Korea’s JagangProvince toward the ocean off its east coast.

He noted that this month’s flurry of missile tests was reminiscent of the heightened tensions in 2017, when North Korea conducted multiple nuclear tests and launched its largest missiles, including some that flew over Japan. “The United States condemns these actions and calls on to refrain from further destabilizing acts,” the US military’s Indo-Pacific Command said in a statement after Sunday’s launch.It is unclear if IRBMs were included in Kim’s moratorium, but those, too, have not been tested since 2017.

The launch could make January the busiest ever for NorthKorea’s missile programme, which analysts say is expanding and developing new capabilities despite strict sanctions and United Nations Security Council resolutions that ban the country’s ballistic missile tests. The tests would also appear to be the final nail in the coffin for Moon’s last-ditch push for a peace deal with NorthKorea before he leaves office in May, Uk added.

Since then, North Korea has tested a dizzying array of weapon types, launch locations, and increasing sophistication as denuclearisation talks remain stalled.
