North Korea says it test launched missiles from train
14 Sept 14:38Key points summarised by AI
North Korea announced it test-launched ballistic missiles from a train, framing it as retaliation against new U.S. sanctions.
This marks North Korea's third weapons launch this month, following previous tests of purported hypersonic missiles.
Pyongyang warned the United States of stronger action if Washington maintains its 'confrontational stance' regarding sanctions.
The use of a train diversifies North Korea's missile launch capabilities, employing 'tactical guided' missiles designed for maneuverability and evasion of defenses.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Yesterday 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
