North Korea launches missiles

The missiles were fired from the Sinpo area and flew approximately 140 kilometers before landing in the sea.

South Korean and US military intelligence are currently analyzing whether the launches were made from a submarine or a land-based platform.

The provocative move is seen as a response to ongoing regional military exercises and a signal of North Korea's continued defiance of international sanctions.

This latest escalation further heightens tensions on the Korean Peninsula amid a broader global security crisis.
