North Korea launches more missiles as US redeploys carrier

13 Sept 08:54 Key points summarised by AI

North Korea launched two short-range ballistic missiles toward its eastern waters, marking its sixth round of tests in less than two weeks.
These launches directly followed the U.S. redeployment of the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier near the Korean Peninsula, a move in response to North Korea's previous launch of a nuclear-capable missile over Japan.
North Korea's continued weapons tests aim to bolster its nuclear arsenal and pressure the U.S. for recognition as a nuclear state and the lifting of international sanctions.
The U.S., South Korea, and Japan strongly condemned the launches, while international efforts at the U.N. Security Council to address North Korea's provocations remain stalled due to divisions among members.

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.
