North Korea has reportedly conducted tests of multiple short-range ballistic missiles, defying UN resolutions that prohibit such actions. The missiles were launched from the North Hwanghae province toward the Sea of Japan, with confirmations from both South Korea and Japan. This comes shortly after Kim Jong-un’s recent test of an intercontinental missile. In response, the United States, South Korea, and Japan held joint military exercises. Tensions on the Korean Peninsula have escalated, exacerbated by North Korea’s increased military activities and recent troop deployments to Russia amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict.
