“Unacceptable...” Japan, South Korea Fume As North Korea Fires Short-Range Ballistic Missiles On September 12, North Korea launched multiple short-range ballistic missiles into the East Sea, its first major test since July. South Korea and Japan confirmed the missiles fell outside Japan’s exclusive economic zone. South Korea labeled the test as a significant provocation amid heightened regional tensions. The launches are linked to North Korea's suspected arms trade with Russia, which Pyongyang denies. Japan’s Prime Minister condemned the test, and North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un continues to emphasize the need for a robust nuclear arsenal.
