On September 20, 2026, North Korea launched two short-range ballistic missiles into the East Sea from its eastern coast near Wonsan. The launches occurred about three hours apart, with the first missile traveling around 280 miles and the second over 370 miles before landing in the sea. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff confirmed both projectiles as ballistic missiles, while Japan's defense ministry noted one landed outside its exclusive economic zone. This test follows North Korea's rejection of a UN resolution demanding it halt nuclear activities and comes amid increased tensions due to recent US-South Korean military drills. The launches mark the second set of missile tests in roughly a week and have prompted South Korea’s presidential office to convene an emergency security meeting.
