SEOUL, Aug. 29 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's armed forces on Tuesday denounced North Korea's latest ballistic missile launch, warning that it will face "resolute" retaliation if it remains bellicose.
The South's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) noted that it was the North's 13th ballistic missile fired this year. Furthermore, the latest one flew over Japan.

The South and the United States will retaliate resolutely against any additional provocations, he added.
