North Korea launches unidentified projectile towards the Sea of Japan

North Korea has launched an unidentified projectile towards the Sea of Japan amid rising inter-Korean tensions. This follows an incident where three South Korean soldiers were injured by landmine explosions at the border in September. The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff detected the launch but did not provide further details. This event comes shortly after North Korea fired multiple short-range ballistic missiles and reportedly tested fragmentation warheads for ballistic missiles.
