Pyongyang’s latest missile launch indicates that the North Korean defense industry is edging closer to creating a new type of ballistic missile as a response to Washington’s pressure on North Korea, Russian military expert Igor Korotchenko told Sputnik.

In an interview with Sputnik, Russian military expert and chief editor of the Arsenal Otechestva magazine Igor Korotchenko commented on Pyongyang’s latest missile launch, which he said is a sign that the North Korean defense industry is closer to creating a new type of ballistic missile.

The South Korean military has detected what is believed to be a missile launch by North Korea, local media reported on Monday. It was later confirmed by the US as a short-range ballistic missile.

Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga lodged a protest over the launch, saying that the missile fell in Japan’s exclusive economic zone.

“This launch testifies to North Korea’s military and industrial complex actively completing the program for the development of a family of ballistic missiles of various classes, implementing Kim Jong UN’s orders to create a [missile] shield. All these missiles can carry a nuclear warhead,” Korotchenko said.
