North Korea Missile

North Korea's launch of a "ballistic missile" violates UN Security Council resolutions, Japan said Wednesday, after what Pyongyang said was a failed attempt to put a satellite in space.

North Korea said it had launched a military reconnaissance satellite early Wednesday but that it crashed into the sea, state media reported.

Japan briefly activated its missile alert warning system for the Okinawa region on Wednesday morning after South Korea's military said North Korea had launched what it called a "space launch vehicle".

Japan ordered its military Saturday to prepare to shoot down a North Korean ballistic missile after Pyongyang said this week it was ready to launch its first military spy satellite.

While children across North Korea spent the day in school, the preteen daughter of leader Kim Jong Un was with her dad watching a test of a new missile designed to obliterate a US city in a nuclear strike.

China on Thursday blamed the "negative impact" of US military drills for tensions on the Korean peninsula, after Pyongyang fired a ballistic missile that prompted Japan to briefly issue a seek shelter warning.

North Korea likely fired a "new type" of ballistic missile Thursday that may have used advanced solid fuel, Seoul's military said, representing a potential technical breakthrough for Pyongyang's banned weapons programs.

Japan's government urged residents in the northern Hokkaido region to take shelter on Thursday morning after North Korea launched a suspected ballistic missile.

North Korea fired an unspecified ballistic missile towards the sea Thursday morning, Yonhap news agency reported, citing South Korea's military.

North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles Monday, South Korea's military said, the latest in its flurry of weapons tests in recent weeks.

North Korea fired four cruise missiles off its east coast on Wednesday as its rivals South Korea and the United States held joint military exercises, the South Korean military said.

North Korea fired multiple cruise missiles Wednesday, Seoul's military said, the latest launch which comes as South Korea and the United States stage major joint military drills.

In recent weeks, North Korea has been ramping up its military tests, firing an intercontinental ballistic missile last week.

North Korean leader's daughter Kim Ju Ae made her debut in public life in November 2022 at one of the missile tests.
