North Korea Conducts Multiple Ballistic Missile Launches

North Korea launched several ballistic missiles into the East Sea, further escalating tensions in the region. The U.K. Foreign Office condemned the actions as a violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions and urged North Korea to return to diplomatic negotiations

North Korea's latest missile tests come after leader Kim Jong Un's recent calls for expanding the country’s nuclear capabilities. The missile launches triggered alarm in neighboring South Korea and Japan, which increased military readiness in response. The international community, including the U.S. and U.K., reiterated the need for North Korea to cease provocative actions and engage in peace talks, warning that these actions threaten regional stability.
