North Korea fired three suspected ballistic missiles toward the East Sea, Thursday, marking the first major provocation since President Yoon Suk-yeol took office two days earlier.
목요일 북한은 동해상으로 탄도미사일로 의심되는 3발을 발사해 윤석열 대통령 집권 이후 처음으로 중대한 도발을 감행했다.


The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said it detected the three, possibly short-range missiles, being launched from Sunan area in Pyongyang around 6:29 p.m.
합동참모본부는 이날 오후 6시 29분경 평양 순안 일대에서 단거리 탄도미사일로 추정되는 3발을 포착했다고 밝혔다.


They traveled 360 kilometers to a maximum altitude of 90 kilometers at a top speed of Mach 5.
이 미사일 3발은 최고 속도인 마하 5로 최고 고도 90km까지 360km를 비행했다.


"This is a grave provocation that must be suspended right away," the JCS said.
합참은 "당장 중단되어야 할 중대한 도발"이라고 말했다.


It went on to say, "The military has strengthened monitoring activities and vigilance and is maintaining a full readiness posture in close cooperation with the United States."
이어 "군은 한미 간 긴밀하게 공조하면서 감시활동과 경계를 강화하고 만반의 대비태세를 유지하고 있다"고 전했다.


The National Security Office (NSO), during an emergency meeting presided over by its new chief Kim Sung-han, denounced the launch as a "two-faced act coming in the wake of the pandemic."
김성한 신임 국가안보실장이 주재한 긴급회의에서 (북한의) 미사일 발사를 "(코로나) 팬데믹이 발생한 상황에서도 지속되는 이중적 행태"라고 비난했다.


It was referring to the reclusive regime's first confirmation of a coronavirus case earlier on Thursday.
이러한 발언은 목요일 북한 은둔 정권이 코로나19의 첫 확진자 발생을 인정한 점을 지칭한다.


The North's leader Kim Jong-un ordered nationwide lockdowns while ordering officials to bolster the country's defense posture to avoid any security vacuum.
김정은 북한 국무위원장은 전국적인 봉쇄 조치를 내렸고 간부들에게 안보 공백을 피하기 위해 국방 태세를 강화하라고 지시했다.


Thursday's launch was also North Korea's 16th show of force this year, including the firing of a submarine-launched ballistic missile in the waters off the East Sea on May 7.
목요일 발사는 북한이 지난 7일 동해에서 잠수함발사탄도미사일을 발사한 것을 포함해 올해 16번째 무력시위이기도 하다.


"The government will take practical and stern measures, while working closely with the international community over the provocation," the NSO said.
국가안보실은 "정부는 도발에 대해 국제사회와 긴밀히 공조하는 한편, 실질적이고 엄정한 조치를 취하겠다"고 말했다.
