North Korea fired missiles. Japan convened a crisis staff.

North Korea launched at least 10 short-range ballistic missiles towards the Sea of Japan, prompting Japan to establish a crisis management team. The South Korean military confirmed the missile launches, which occurred amid rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula. Japan's Ministry of Defense noted that the missiles fell outside its exclusive economic zone, and no damages were reported. This incident follows a recent proposal from South Korea for military talks with North Korea. The situation remains tense after a landmine explosion injured South Korean soldiers, which Seoul attributed to North Korea. Kim Jong Un's regime has threatened retaliation against any actions from the South.
