Seoul According to the military in South Korea, North Korea has fired a multi-stage rocket in a southerly direction, causing uncertainty in the metropolis of Seoul. The General Staff in Seoul announced on Wednesday morning (local time) that it could be a satellite launch vehicle. Alarm sirens could be heard in the South Korean capital. In text messages, citizens were asked to go to shelters if necessary. The alert was later withdrawn. The Ministry of the Interior said it was a mistake.
North Korea had recently announced an early satellite launch. South Korea and the United States interpreted this as a presumed upcoming test of a missile with ballistic missile technology. UN decisions prohibit North Korea from launching such missiles because they can also be equipped with a nuclear warhead.
After an unprecedented series of missile tests last year, North Korea has again tested multiple missiles and cruise missiles this year.
