North Korea fires 2 suspected missiles in 4th launch this year

23 Sept 04:19 Key points summarised by AI

North Korea launched two suspected ballistic missiles on Monday, marking its fourth weapons test this month, aimed at showcasing its military strength.
This latest launch follows recent tests of purported hypersonic missiles and train-fired ballistic missiles, occurring shortly after the U.S. imposed new sanctions on Pyongyang for its escalating weapons development.
The repeated missile firings underscore Kim Jong Un's strategy to pressure the U.S. for concessions, as denuclearization talks remain stalled since 2019.

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.
