Photograph: EPANorth Korea fired at least two suspected ballistic missiles on Sunday toward waters off its east coast, adding to a record number of launches this year that have increased up regional tensions.
Japanese Government officials said there were at least two missiles launched, and both apparently fell outside of its exclusive economic zone. This year, Kim Jong-un’s regime has already fired off more than 65 ballistic missiles, the most in his decade in power and in defiance of United Nations resolutions that prohibit the launches.
He has stepped up provocations in recent months in a display of anger at joint military drills in the region by the US and its allies South Korea and Japan.
