N Korean missile lands close to S Korean waters for 'first time', Seoul military says

13 Sept 10:44 Key points summarised by AI

North Korea launched at least 10 missiles, with one landing unprecedentedly close to South Korean territorial waters, prompting an air raid warning for Ulleungdo island.
South Korea condemned the launch as "very unusual and unacceptable," vowing a decisive response, while President Yoon Suk-yeol ordered "swift and stern measures."
The missile barrage occurred amidst large-scale joint air drills, "Vigilant Storm," between South Korea and the United States, which Pyongyang views as aggressive and provocative.
A high-ranking North Korean official warned of a "terrible case" and "most horrible price in history" if the US and South Korea use armed forces against them.
Analysts suggest this is Pyongyang's most aggressive and threatening demonstration against the South since 2010, indicating a dangerous and unstable situation that could escalate into armed conflict.

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.
