The United States has reacted to the latest missile launch by North Korea, stating that it is closely consulting with its allies and partners following the development.
In a statement posted on its official X handle on Saturday, the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command confirmed that North Korea had carried out multiple ballistic missile launches.
The message was issued by the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command as part of Washington’s initial reaction to the missile activity.
“The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea launched multiple ballistic missiles on March 14th, 2026,” the statement read.
The command said U.S. authorities were already monitoring the situation and coordinating with regional partners to assess the implications of the launches.
“We are aware of the missile launches and are consulting closely with our allies and partners,” the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said.
According to the statement, preliminary assessments indicate that the missile launches do not currently pose a direct threat to American territory, its military personnel, or allied nations in the region.
“Based on current assessments, this event does not pose an immediate threat to U.S. personnel or territory, or to our allies,” the command stated.
Despite the assessment, the United States reaffirmed its commitment to defending both the American homeland and its allies across the Indo-Pacific region.
“The United States remains committed to the defense of the U.S. homeland and our allies in the region,” the statement added.
North Korea has conducted several missile tests in recent years, often drawing responses from the United States and its allies, including South Korea and Japan, due to concerns over regional security and stability.
