North Korea fires two missiles in latest testing frenzy, South Korea says

13 Sept 12:43 Key points summarised by AI

North Korea launched two ballistic missiles off its east coast, marking its sixth missile test this month and escalating regional tensions.
This latest launch follows a series of recent tests, including tactical guided missiles and 'hypersonic missiles,' demonstrating a significant increase in its weapons development activities.
Pyongyang justifies these tests as self-defense, while threatening to resume 'all temporally-suspended activities,' potentially referring to nuclear weapons and long-range missile tests.
The international community, led by the U.S. and Japan, condemns these actions, with the U.S. imposing sanctions, though China and Russia have blocked further UN sanctions.
Despite sanctions, the U.S. expresses willingness for unconditional talks with North Korea to discuss denuclearization, emphasizing potential positive outcomes.

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.
