On February 14, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un oversaw the test of a new surface-to-sea missile, named Padasuri-6, which successfully hit its target after flying over the Korean East Sea for more than 1,400 seconds, according to KCNA. The test is part of North Korea's efforts to boost its military capabilities in response to perceived provocations, with Kim Jong-un visiting a major munitions factory and urging an increase in weapons production. He warned of a more aggressive military posture in disputed sea boundaries with South Korea, raising concerns about heightened tensions in the region, especially near the Northern Limit Line (NLL). North Korea has accused South Korean ships of frequent violations in these disputed seas and has promised to fire on any South Korean ship that violates its maritime boundaries, even by a minimal amount.
