North Korea Fires Around 10 Ballistic Missiles Amid Rising Border Tensions
North Korea launched about 10 short-range ballistic missiles toward the sea from its eastern coast, escalating tensions with South Korea amid recent border disputes. The launches followed leader Kim Jong Un's visit to China and threats to resume propaganda broadcasts and deploy new weapons along the border. South Korea and Japan condemned the tests, with Seoul enhancing surveillance and coordinating with the US and Japan. Pyongyang denies responsibility for recent land mine blasts that injured South Korean soldiers and warns of retaliation if provoked.
