North Korea fires submarine-launched missile after US nuclear warning

13 Sept 07:42 Key points summarised by AI

North Korea launched a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) on Saturday, marking its second missile test in three days.
The launch follows a US warning that Pyongyang is preparing its Punggye-ri site for a nuclear test, potentially as early as this month.
This escalation precedes the inauguration of South Korea's new hawkish President Yoon Suk-yeol and US President Biden's upcoming visit to the region.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un recently vowed to rapidly develop nuclear forces and warned of potential 'pre-emptive' strikes, intensifying regional tensions.

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.
