North Korea Tests Ballistic Missiles

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

Kim Jong Un reportedly hailed the accuracy of the tactical missiles, which are believed to be variants of the Hwasong-11 flagship model.

South Korean and U.S. intelligence agencies are currently analyzing whether the launches were conducted from land-based platforms or submarines.

This latest round of testing marks the seventh missile event of 2026, further heightening tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
