North Korea Launches Multiple Missiles into Sea Amid Tensions.

North Korea launched two short-range ballistic missiles that landed off the country's east coast, prompting South Korea to call it a "grave provocation." The missiles were launched from the southwestern coastal town of Jangyon and flew approximately 385 miles across North Korea before landing in the sea. The launches don't pose an immediate threat to U.S. forces or its allies, according to the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command. North Korea has claimed the missile tests are being conducted as a show of force while U.S. and South Korean military forces conduct drills and war simulations on the Korean Peninsula.
