North Korea has fired multiple ballistic missiles towards the sea off its east coast, South Korea\u2019s military says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Korea\u2019s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said one of the missiles flew more than 900km (559 miles) from the Pyongyang area on Monday. The joint chiefs did not specify how many missiles were detected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japan\u2019s coastguard said on Monday that North Korea had fired two unidentified projectiles, believed to be ballistic missiles, which appeared to have already fallen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Korea\u2019s presidential office said that Pyongyang\u2019s repeated missile launches violate United Nations Security Council resolutions, urging an immediate stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday\u2019s missile launch adds to heightened tensions on the Korean Peninsula, as both countries have been conducting weapons tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Escalating tensions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

JCS spokesperson Jang Do-young said the latest missile launch appears to be a show of force since South Korea\u2019s hypersonic missile test-fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung oversaw the country\u2019s first test-firing of a hypersonic missile, a rare public showcasing of a missile test by a South Korean president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee\u2019s office said the hypersonic weapon, once fully developed, would enhance South Korea\u2019s ability to strike key targets by surprise in the \u201cKorean Peninsula theatre of operations\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On October 3, North Korea also tested a hypersonic intermediate-range missile designed to evade missile defences in South Korea and Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, Seoul demanded an apology after a landmine blast wounded three soldiers in the Demilitarized Zone between South and North Korea. A joint South Korean-UN investigation concluded that two landmines were planted by North Korean forces about a year ago. Pyongyang dismissed the claim and accused South Korea of provocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to the border mine blast, Seoul said it was conducting \u201cpreliminary coordination efforts\u201d to facilitate dialogue between Pyongyang and Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee pledged to reopen dialogue with North Korea in his first speech after taking office in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un continues to flaunt his nuclear weapons programme, while rejecting US and South Korean offers to resume stalled diplomacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talks between Kim and US President Donald Trump abruptly ended in 2019. Kim Jong Un\u2019s government continues to demand that Washington abandon its \u201chostile\u201d policy towards Pyongyang and drop demands for North Korea\u2019s denuclearisation as a condition for talks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
