North Korea launches missile after Seoul's demand
South Korea announced that North Korea launched a ballistic missile toward the East Sea, covering a distance of more than 700 kilometers, amid escalating tensions between the two sides. This comes after Pyongyang refused to acknowledge responsibility for a landmine explosion inside the demilitarized zone that injured three South Korean soldiers, and as hostile language between the two nations has intensified. At the same time, North Korea has installed landmines and defensive barriers along the border, a move Seoul considers a security threat, with Pyongyang demonstrating its strength in response to American and South Korean calls for dialogue. Tensions continue to rise against the backdrop of nuclear talks and military challenges between the two countries.
