North Korea fires unidentified projectile into Sea of Japan
The launch follows Pyongyang’s test-firing of a ballistic missile earlier this month, which it said used artificial intelligence technology.
North Korea launched an unidentified projectile from its east coast, according to South Korea's military. The launch occurred on Monday and comes after Pyongyang's earlier test-firing of a ballistic missile on October 3, which incorporated artificial intelligence technology. Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, announced the missile's capabilities during that time.
Shortly after, South Korea announced the successful test of its first domestically developed hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV), which is capable of striking key targets within the Korean Peninsula's operational environment. The heightened tensions between the two Koreas were further exacerbated by an incident where three South Korean soldiers were injured by two landmines detonating in the Seoul-controlled area of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), a buffer established since the 1953 armistice.
A joint Seoul-UN investigation concluded that North Korea had planted these landmines over a year prior, a claim that Pyongyang strongly denied.
