"Kim Jong Un Supervises North Korea's Aggressive Missile Tests in Disputed Seas"

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw a test of new surface-to-sea missiles and warned of a more aggressive military stance in disputed seas, particularly in the western sea boundary with South Korea. He accused South Korea of violating North Korean territorial waters and ordered his navy to strengthen its defense posture. Kim also declared that North Korea does not recognize the Northern Limit Line drawn at the end of the Korean War and threatened to consider any intrusion into its recognized maritime border as an armed provocation. The United States and South Korea have accused North Korea of providing military equipment to Russia, and Kim has been seeking closer ties with Moscow and Beijing to break out of diplomatic isolation.
