Summary
South Korea’s military said North Korea launched several missiles from the Sondok area into the Sea of Japan on Wednesday, with Seoul and Washington analyzing the flight details.
The firing was Pyongyang’s fourth weapons launch in a month and came hours after it denied FBI allegations that North Korean hackers stole more than $6 billion from Binance.
Kim Yo Jong called the FBI accusation a "trite provocation" and an extension of US hostility, saying North Korea saw no need for dialogue with Washington unless that policy changed.
The launches add to a rapid testing campaign that has included submarine-launched ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles, attack drones and cluster munitions, as the US, South Korea and Japan again press for complete denuclearisation.
