North Korea launches ballistic missile as tensions with Seoul grow over border mine blasts
Asia-Pacific3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported47m ago
North Korea launched a ballistic missile from the Wonsan area into the Sea of Japan on Saturday morning. The launch occurred shortly after Pyongyang rejected South Korea's demand for an apology regarding a recent landmine explosion in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that resulted in injuries to South Korean soldiers.
The incident follows a period of heightened friction between the two nations, exacerbated by North Korea’s denial of involvement in the DMZ blast. Pyongyang has publicly criticized Seoul's accusations, and the missile launch serves as a significant escalation in the ongoing diplomatic and military tensions along the border.
