North Korea fires multiple ballistic missiles, adding to streak of weapons tests

North Korea launched multiple ballistic missiles from the Pyongyang region into its eastern waters on Monday, according to South Korean and Japanese military officials. This latest launch follows a series of weapons demonstrations by Kim Jong Un's government, including a hypersonic missile test on October 3. The event occurs amid heightened regional tensions and a prolonged stalemate in diplomacy between Pyongyang, Seoul, and Washington. Both articles note the launch followed South Korea's own recent test of a domestically developed hypersonic weapon on Friday.
