The flurry of launches comes days after North Korea tested a new ICBM designed to reach the US mainland. Japan's Defense Ministry said that there were no immediate reports of damage.

Summary

North Korea launched multiple short-range ballistic missiles off its eastern coast, just days after testing an intercontinental missile capable of reaching the US. Japan reported no immediate damage, and the US assessed no direct threat but is closely monitoring.

The launches come as North Korea strengthens military ties with Russia, reportedly sending thousands of troops to aid Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Analysts suggest Pyongyang’s actions aim to attract US attention ahead of the presidential election.
