South Korea said North Korea has launched at least one missile toward its eastern sea. The South did not indicate how far the missile had flown.
North Korea has increased its weapons demonstrations to a record rate this year, as leader Kim Jong Un accelerates arms development and dials up pressure on the U.S. and its regional allies.
The launch comes after a recent barrage of North Korean weapons demonstrations, including dozens of launches that occurred last week in response to a massive combined aerial exercise between the U.S. and South Korea that the North slammed as an invasion rehearsal.Wednesday's missile launch also comes amid the U.S. midterm elections. Some experts have said the results be unlikely to change the Biden administration’s policies on North Korea.
