North Korea launched multiple ballistic missiles into the sea on Monday, coinciding with the start of a significant joint military exercise called "Freedom Shield" by South Korea and the US. This marks the fifth missile launch for North Korea this year, reflecting its persistent opposition to military drills it perceives as a threat. The drills will run for 11 days and include a mix of live and virtual training. North Korean officials condemned the exercises, escalating tensions further in the region, especially after a recent incident involving the accidental bombing of a civilian area by South Korean jets.
North Korea fired several ballistic missiles into the sea on Monday, hours after Seoul and Washington resumed the "Freedom Shield" military drill, which it views as provocative.
In response to the start of the drills, North Korea labeled the exercises a "dangerous provocative act" and warned of the heightened risk of military conflict.
