Story summary

On October 29, 2026, North Korea launched around a dozen short-range ballistic missiles off its east coast toward the Sea of Japan, escalating tensions with South Korea. This missile barrage came just days after North Korea threatened to resume front-line propaganda loudspeaker broadcasts and deploy new weapons along their shared border. The launches were detected by both South Korean and Japanese military agencies, increasing animosity between the two Koreas following landmine explosions near the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that injured three South Korean soldiers on September 21. Seoul has proposed talks to ease these tensions but has not yet received a response from Pyongyang.
