North Korea fired four short-range ballistic missiles into the western sea on Saturday, South Korea's military said, as Seoul and Washington ended a high-profile six-day military exercise.
This is the latest in a barrage of North Korean intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), with one landing near South Korea's territorial waters for the first time since the end of the Korean War in 1953. The United States, South Korea and Japan condemned the action, with some saying it raised speculation it could be preparing to resume nuclear weapons testing for the first time since 2017.
