North Korea launched eight short-range ballistic missiles, its largest single test, just after South Korea and the U.S. concluded joint military drills involving a U.S. aircraft carrier.
Japan's Defence Minister condemned the multiple missile launches as "intolerable," while the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command highlighted the destabilizing impact of North Korea's illicit weapons program.
The missile test follows a visit by the U.S. Special Representative to Seoul to discuss "all contingencies" amid signs North Korea is preparing for its first nuclear test since 2017, despite Washington's diplomatic overtures.
This incident marks another in a series of recent missile tests by North Korea, intensifying regional tensions and showcasing a continued defiance of international warnings.

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.
