South Korea says North Korea has fired a ballistic missile. The South Korean Armed Forces General Staff said on Sunday that North Korea fired an “unidentified ballistic missile” toward the East Sea, also known as the Sea of Japan. About a week ago, North Korea carried out artillery exercises near the maritime border with South Korea. Relations between North and South Korea are currently at a low point.
North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un wants to expand weapons development, including tactical nuclear weapons. In response, South Korea and the United States have increased defense cooperation and held joint military exercises.
The UN Security Council has passed numerous resolutions calling on North Korea to stop its nuclear and missile programs. North Korea carried out its first nuclear test in 2006.
