Korea-Konflikt: Südkorea: Nordkorea testet erneut mehrere Raketen

South Korea reported that North Korea launched several missiles towards the Sea of Japan early this morning, according to the country's military. The United States and South Korea closely monitored the missile preparations and tracked the projectiles immediately after launch, with the projectiles covering less than 300 kilometers.

Since the previous week, North Korea conducted tests of two types of rockets - a missile with a warhead and a ballistic missile with a warhead. On Thursday, it launched around ten short-range ballistic missiles towards the Sea of Japan. North Korea is prohibited from launching ballistic missiles of any range by UN decisions. The sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Kim Yo Jong, rejected potential talks with the US for now, stating that Washington's "hostile policy" makes personal meetings unlikely until it changes.

However, she emphasized that dialogue could be a possibility to ensure peace, provided it serves North Korea's national interests. US President Donald Trump had previously expressed his desire to meet Kim Jong Un this year. However, most experts believe that the speculation of the two leaders meeting during Trump's China visit at the Apec summit in Shenzhen is unlikely.
