This market will resolve to "Yes" if North Korea (DPRK) launches a missile between market creation and the specified date ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Only launches of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and anti-ship missiles will qualify toward a “Yes” resolution. Launches of other systems such as SAMs, MLRS/rocket artillery, torpedoes, etc., will not qualify toward a "Yes" resolution. The market resolution will be based on publicly available information from reliable sources such as official government statements, reports from international monitoring bodies like the United Nations, or reports from reputable international media.North Korea's multiple short-range ballistic missile launches from the Wonsan area toward the East Sea on April 8, detected and confirmed by South Korea's military, Japan's Self-Defense Forces, and US Indo-Pacific Command, have driven trader consensus to 100% on Yes well ahead of the April 30 deadline. This marks the latest in a series of frequent tests this year, including March barrages of nuclear-capable rockets and cruise missiles from new warships overseen by Kim Jong Un, underscoring Pyongyang's ongoing weapons development amid regional tensions. With official verifications in place, market resolution to Yes appears certain, though extraordinary disputes over launch classification or failed attributions could theoretically delay it.
