North Korea test-fired multiple missiles towards its eastern waters on Tuesday, according to South Korea's military. The short-range ballistic missiles were launched from a northern inland area, flying approximately 250 kilometers before landing in waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.
The South Korean military, in collaboration with the U.S. and Japanese militaries, condemned the test as a 'clear provocation' that poses a serious threat to regional peace and stability. This marks North Korea's second missile launch event of 2025, following a ballistic test last week.
