Pyongyang: Despite US threats, North Korea has launched eight ballistic missiles from its east coast into the sea. The horrific launch comes a day after a top US envoy left Seoul for South Korea. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missile was launched in the Sunan area of the North Korean capital, Pyongyang. Japan’s Kyodo news agency quoted a government source as saying that North Korea had launched several missiles. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has tested other missiles, including his largest intercontinental ballistic missile. It is noteworthy that US Special Envoy Sung Kim met with his South Korean and Japanese counterparts in Seoul. For all contingency preparations, North Korea is preparing to conduct a nuclear test for the first time since 2016. The Japanese government says North Korea has launched a suspected ballistic missile. US: Pyongyang has been told directly that it is present for diplomacy. US calls for more UN sanctions on North Korea over its ballistic missile launch, but China and Russia veto. The United Nations Security Council began imposing sanctions on Korea for the first time since its partition in 2008, when North Korea conducted its first nuclear test. Despite opposition from many countries, Kim Jong Un continues to test missiles. Including ballistic missiles. The last test was in Korea on May 6, when Joe Biden launched three missiles after completing a trip to Asia.
