Kim Jong Un has officially begun a summit with Russian president Vladimir Putin, as North Korea fired two ballistic missiles its coast.
The pair shook hands as they met this morning, flanked by an entourage their most senior advisors.
This missile launch was the latest provocative act in North Korea’s continuing weapons testing frenzy since the beginning of 2022. Kim leveraged the distraction provided by Putin’s involvement in the Ukraine war to boost his country’s weapons development.
The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff did not immediately reveal how far these North Korean missiles had travelled.
Meanwhile, Japan’s Coast Guard, using information from Tokyo’s Defence Ministry, stated that the missiles had most likely already landed but encouraged vessels to keep vigilant for falling debris.
