On Thursday, North Korea launched multiple ballistic missiles towards its eastern waters, identified as presumed short-range missiles by South Korea's military. The missiles were fired near the port city of Monsanto and traveled approximately 800 kilometers into the sea. Japan confirmed that there was no impact from the launches. Analysts speculate that North Korea's ongoing missile tests may be related to its arms export ambitions, particularly in supplying Russia with improved missile technology for the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, violating UN sanctions against such activities.
