North Korea launched a ballistic missile from its eastern Wonsan region toward the sea, flying over 700 kilometers, according to South Korean and Japanese officials. The launch follows increased tensions after land mine blasts injured South Korean soldiers near the border. South Korea condemned the missile test as a violation of U.N. sanctions and heightened military vigilance, while the U.S. Pacific Command reported no immediate threat. North Korea's Kim Yo Jong dismissed South Korea's apology demands, reaffirming hostility toward the South.
