North Korea's state media outlet, the Korean Central News Agency, has reported that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un supervised a test of new surface-to-sea missiles. The test comes amidst escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula, as the North Korean regime warns of a more aggressive military posture in disputed seas.
The missile launches took place off the eastern port of Wonsan, marking the sixth such event this year. These provocative demonstrations of military strength have become increasingly frequent since 2022, prompting concerns in South Korea about a potential direct military provocation.
