North Korea has conducted a ballistic missile test, with the projectile landing in the East Sea, according to South Korea’s military. The launch coincided with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s visit to Seoul, where he held talks with South Korean officials.
This marks Pyongyang’s first missile test of the year, following its November trial of an advanced intercontinental ballistic missile. The latest launch is expected to further heighten tensions in an already volatile region.
