💨 Abstract

North Korea launched at least two ballistic missiles on Sunday, the first in two months, amid heightened global tensions. The launches occurred as South Korean President Lee Jae Myung began a state visit to China and shortly after the U.S. attacked Venezuela. Analysts suggest the launches were a message to China to deter closer ties with South Korea and to assert North Korea's military strength. Seoul and Tokyo condemned the launches, urging North Korea to cease provocative acts.
