Asia-Pacific4 sources3 countries31m ago
North Korea launched two ballistic missiles toward the sea, marking the latest in a series of weapons demonstrations by Pyongyang. The actions represent an escalation of pressure on the United States amid stalled diplomatic efforts.
The recent launches follow the collapse of high-stakes diplomacy between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and U.S. President Donald Trump in 2019. Since the breakdown of those talks, Kim has increasingly focused on expanding his nation's nuclear arsenal.
The latest military maneuvers occurred despite an earlier effort by President Trump to revive diplomacy by scaling back a joint military exercise with South Korea.
