North Korea Issues East Sea Navigational Warning in Possible Preparation for a Missile Launch

North Korea may show how upset they are with ROK and US service members playing computer simulated war-games together by firing a missile:

A new type of a tactical guided missile is launched from the North Korean town of Hamju, South Hamgyong Province, on March 25, 2021, in this photo released by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency. South Korea’s military said the previous day that the North fired what appeared to be two short-range ballistic missiles into the East Sea.

North Korea had declared a no-sail zone for ships off the east coast earlier this week, sources said Thursday, indicating that it had plans to launch missiles amid an ongoing combined exercise between South Korea and the United States.

The navigational warning was issued for Sunday through Monday for northeastern regions in the East Sea, according to the military sources. Such an advisory is usually issued ahead of missile launches or other weapons tests to warn vessels to stay clear of certain areas expected to be affected.
