Yes. South Korea’s military said North Korea fired one ballistic missile from the Wonsan area toward the East Sea (also known as the Sea of Japan) at about 6:30 a.m. on October 3, 2026; the missile flew more than 700 km (about 434 miles) before landing at sea.
U.S. Pacific Command separately confirmed it was aware of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea launch that day (Korea Standard Time) and said current assessments indicated no immediate threat to U.S. personnel, territory, or allies.
