North Korea fired several missiles towards the Sea of Japan, Seoul reported

North Korea launched several missiles from Sondok towards the Sea of Japan, marking its fourth test in a month. South Korea and the U.S. are closely monitoring the situation and are prepared to respond to provocations. Tensions have escalated following an incident involving landmines that injured South Korean soldiers, which Seoul attributes to North Korea. Despite South Korea's proposal for military talks, North Korea has not responded.
