N. Korea Launches 2 Ballistic Missiles Toward Sea of Japan

In the early hours of Wednesday, North Korea launched two ballistic missiles toward the Sea of Japan, escalating tensions in the region.

The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff confirmed the missile launches, with one of the missiles described as an unspecified ballistic missile.

Details surrounding the launches remain limited, with no additional information provided by South Korean military forces, as reported by the South Korean news agency, "Yonhap."

On the other hand, Japan's Coast Guard believes North Korea launched a second ballistic missile.

According to the Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK), citing government sources, both missiles are believed to have landed outside Japan's exclusive economic zone.

Today's missile launches mark the first time since August 30th of last year that North Korea has fired ballistic missiles, specifically short-range ballistic missiles.

This move has raised concerns and comes as a reminder of the ongoing regional tensions.
