North Korea launches ballistic missiles toward sea
"North Korea's missile launches threaten regional and international peace and violate U.N. Security Council resolutions that ban any ballistic activities by North Korea."
"Kim Jong Un stated that his government remains focused on the 'limitless expansion' of its nuclear forces and issued new tasks to enhance nuclear attack capabilities."
"The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed a 'rapid increase' in activities at nuclear facilities in North Korea, indicating heightened military capabilities."
North Korea conducted multiple ballistic missile launches from the Sinpo area, prompting South Korea to enhance its surveillance and coordinate with the U.S. and Japan. An emergency meeting of South Korea's National Security Council was convened in response. Japan's Defense Ministry reported that the missiles landed in waters off North Korea's east coast and issued a strong protest, citing violations of U.N. Security Council resolutions. Kim Jong Un emphasized the expansion of nuclear forces, while the International Atomic Energy Agency noted increased activity at North Korean nuclear facilities.
