North Korea launched two ballistic missiles on Monday at 5:05 and 5:15 AM, one of which may have failed and fallen inland, according to South Korea's military. The first missile flew approximately 600 kilometers, while the second traveled around 120 kilometers before potentially experiencing an irregular flight and disintegrating. The launches, directed towards the Sea of Japan, come shortly after the conclusion of a joint military drill between the U.S., South Korea, and Japan. North Korea claims the tests were successful, asserting they involved a new tactical ballistic missile variant, as reported by KCNA. The U.S. and its allies have condemned the launches, calling them irresponsible.
