North Korea launches unidentified projectile towards the Sea of Japan

North Korea launched an unidentified projectile towards the Sea of Japan on November 4, amid rising inter-Korean tensions. This follows an incident in September where three South Korean soldiers were injured by landmine explosions at the border. The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff detected the launch but provided no further details. This event comes shortly after North Korea fired multiple short-range ballistic missiles and reportedly tested fragmentation warheads for ballistic missiles.
