North Korea fired "about a dozen ballistic missiles" into the Sea of Japan, according to Seoul

North Korea launched several short-range ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan, following South Korea's proposal for military talks. The South Korean military detected the missiles fired from Wonsan and heightened surveillance. This incident comes amid rising tensions, including recent mine explosions injuring South Korean soldiers. North Korea has also resumed propaganda broadcasts and tested new precision torpedoes using AI. As the APEC summit approaches, discussions for a potential meeting between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un are reigniting, while both Koreas remain technically at war since the 1950-1953 conflict ended in an armistice.
