On Thursday morning, North Korea launched several short-range ballistic missiles into the eastern sea, raising concerns over its potential plans to export weaponry. The missiles were fired near Wonsan, with some reaching up to 800 kilometers. This latest test, following a similar test two months prior, is seen as connected to North Korea's increasing military cooperation with Russia, particularly amidst the ongoing invasion of Ukraine. The launch has drawn strong condemnation from South Korea and Japan, reacting to North Korea's continued military provocations and its acknowledgment of sending troops to assist Russia.
North Korea conducted missile tests that may signal an intention to export its arsenal, amid rising military cooperation with Russia during its invasion of Ukraine.
Officials noted that the missile tests are likely to be linked to North Korea's strategy of supplying military resources to Russia in light of the ongoing conflict.
