North Korea Launches Massive Ballistic Missile Barrage Amid South Korea ...
North Korea fired a volley of ballistic missiles into the sea off its east coast on March 14, a provocative display of force that comes during large-scale military exercises between the United States and South Korea. It is North Korea’s third missile launch this year, and the first since January 27.
According to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), the North launched approximately 10 short-range ballistic missiles from the Sunan area near Pyongyang at approximately 1:20 p.m. KST. The missiles flew roughly 350 kilometers (217 miles) before splashing down into the waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.
A day after the launch, the North’s state-controlled Korean Central News Agency (KCNA)saidthat “twelve 600mm-caliber ultra-precision multiple rocket launchers and two artillery companies” were involved in the missile test.
“The launched rockets battered the island target in the East Sea of Korea about 364.4 km away with the accuracy of 100 percent, proving once again the destructive capability of their concentration strike and the system’s military value once again,” KCNA reported.

South Korea Fires Full Four-Stage Military Rocket: Joining Elite Club ...
South Korea'sAgency for Defense Developmentopened a launch window early Monday morning from an offshore barge near Jeju Island, sending the first complete, four-stage version of its classified solid-fuel military rocket on its inaugural flight. The vehicle — known by the Korean abbreviation GYŪB — attempted to deliver a payload to low Earth orbit in a mission South Korean defense officials call a pivotal step toward halving the time gap in the country's ability to monitor North Korean military activity. With an already-operational constellation of five reconnaissance satellites currently providing coverage every two hours, this rocket exists to upgrade that figure to 30 minutes.
No official confirmation has been issued as of publication. South Korea has consistently announced these classified launches only after the fact, as it did in December 2023 — meaning the outcome of today's Demo Flight may not be publicly acknowledged for hours or longer.
The GYŪB launcher is designed around one military requirement: the ability to put a small radar-equipped satellite into orbit quickly, without the weeks of prepara…

North Korea fired more than 10 ballistic missiles into the sea on Saturday, South Korea's military said, as the U.S. and South Korean forces conducted military drills and U.S.
President Donald Trump renewed overtures towards Pyongyang for dialogue.
Japan's coast guard said it had detected what could be a ballistic missile that fell into the sea. It appeared to have fallen outside Japan's exclusive economic zone, public broadcaster NHK said, citing the military.
The missiles were launched from an area near the capital Pyongyang, around 1:20 p.m. (0430 GMT) towards the sea off the country's east coast, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.
North Korea has test-launched a wide range of ballistic and cruise missiles for more than two decades in a push to develop the means to deliver nuclear weapons, which it is believed to have successfully built.
As a result, Pyongyang has been under multiple U.N. Security Council sanctions since 2006 but it remains defiant, despite severe obstacles they created to its trade, economy and defense.
