(3rd LD) N. Korea fires additional projectile after short-range ballistic missile launch: S. Korean military

North Korea fired another unidentified projectile towards the East Sea on Sunday, just hours after launching a short-range ballistic missile, according to South Korea's military. The details of the second missile launch are not yet available. This latest launch follows a week of heightened tensions, with North Korea conducting multiple short-range ballistic missile launches and criticizing U.S.-led military exercises in the region.

South Korea's National Security Office convened an emergency security meeting to assess the situation and urge North Korea to cease military actions immediately, citing violations of U.N. Security Council resolutions.
