North Korea Fires Ballistic Missiles Amid Rising Border Tensions with South Korea
North Korea launched about 10 short-range ballistic missiles toward the sea from its eastern coast, according to South Korea's military. The missile tests follow North Korea's recent threats to resume propaganda broadcasts and deploy new weapons along the tense border with South Korea. These launches occurred days after leader Kim Jong Un's surprise visit to China, aimed at strengthening cooperation. South Korea has increased surveillance and is coordinating with the US and Japan. Tensions have risen since a September land mine blast injured South Korean soldiers, with Pyongyang denying involvement and warning of retaliation if provoked.
