The United States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) confirmed late Friday that North Korea’s most recent ballistic missile launch does not pose any “immediate threat to U.S. personnel, territory, or allies.”

In a statement, USINDOPACOM emphasized that while the launch is not seen as an immediate danger, it underscores the “destabilizing impact” of North Korea’s continued missile activities in the region. The command reaffirmed that the U.S. remains fully prepared to defend both its homeland and regional allies, including South Korea and Japan.

The missile test comes shortly after Pyongyang issued warnings that it was ready to take “offensive actions” against any perceived outside threats. North Korea’s declaration followed new U.S. sanctions targeting several individuals and entities linked to the regime’s cyber operations and illicit financial networks.

Tensions between Washington and Pyongyang have been rising over recent weeks, with North Korea accusing the U.S. of maintaining a “hostile policy” and vowing to respond in kind.

Analysts warn that continued missile testing and mutual threats could reignite instability in the Asia-Pacific region, even as both sides publicly downplay the likelihood of immediate conflict.
