North Korea launches unidentified projectile toward the sea, South Korea says
The latest launch comes a day after North Korea denied involvement in the recent cryptocurrency heist at Binance.
South Korea's military reported that North Korea launched an unidentified projectile into the sea on Wednesday, intensifying a series of provocative weapon demonstrations from Pyongyang. The Joint Chiefs of Staff disclosed the launch occurred off North Korea's eastern coast, though they did not specify the type of weapon used. Recent weeks have seen North Korea intensify its weapons tests, potentially seeking increased leverage in potential diplomacy with the U.S. following former President Donald Trump's expressed desire to restore dialogue with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
