Summary
A TV screen shows a file image of North Korea's missile launch during a news program at Seoul Railway Station (Picture credit: AP) North Korea fired a ballistic missile towards the sea off the Korean Peninsula’s east coast on Wednesday, South Korean and Japanese authorities said, marking Pyongyang’s second reported ballistic missile launch in less than a week and coming days before major US-South Korea military exercises. The United States and South Korea have maintained that their military training is defensive. Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Pyongyang in June, his first visit to the North Korean capital in seven years.
Furthermore, South Korea ’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said a ballistic missile fired from the North's eastern coastal Wonsan area around 6 a.m. flew more than 700 kilometres (435 miles). Experts say North Korea often uses its rivals' military training as a pretext to boost its own testing activities. North Korea has since expanded its weapons arsenal and testing programme.
In addition, The drills are scheduled to run until August 27 and are aimed at strengthening readiness against North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats. The military said it would respond "overwhelmingly" if necessary. South Korea's national security council called North Korean ballistic missile launches “acts of provocation” and urged the North to halt them immediately. “It’s a serious problem that affects the safety of the Japanese people,” he said.
Moreover, The launches, within days of each other, were seen as part of North Korea's extended run of weapons tests as the country has refused to return to talks with the US and South Korea for years.
The same facts are framed differently: Center — “invasion” ; Other — “invasion”.
