    North Korea’s recent missile launch may be a test of upgraded exports to Russia, observers say, as the war in Ukraine gives Pyongyang opportunities to improve its weapons. At about 6am on Wednesday, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) detected a missile launched from the North’s southeastern port city of Wonsan. It flew roughly 700km (435 miles) eastward before falling into the Sea of Japan. The JCS conspicuously did not specify the missile’s launch angle or whether it should be...

      On Thursday, North Korea fired ten short-range ballistic missiles into eastern waters, a provocative move following the United States' decision to reduce joint military exercises with South Korea. The South Korean military enhanced its monitoring efforts and shared intelligence with its allies. Meanwhile, North Korea dismissed diplomatic outreach from the US President as unworthy of a response. Such missile tests violate United Nations Security Council resolutions.
