North Korea refrained from reporting its recent missile launches on Sunday, despite the country's typical practice of announcing such activities the following day.

The first missile traveled around 450 km, while the second traveled more than 600 km.
This inconsistency in reporting patterns is becoming increasingly apparent, as evidenced by the lack of coverage for three missile launches last month and a September 12 launch that was reported two days later. The launches occurred ahead of the U.N. General Assembly's high-level general debate and the upcoming summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President.
