North Korea Resumes Ballistic Missile Testing

The associated press has reported North Korea fired a "ballistic missile into the sea on Sunday, its neighbors said, in a resumption of weapons tests that came as the United States and its allies are focused on Russia's invasion of Ukraine." The missile testing was the "eighth of its kind this year." Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi "said the North Korean missile flew about 300 kilometers (190 miles) at a maximum altitude of about 600 kilometers (370 miles) before landing off North Korea's eastern coast and outside Japan's exclusive economic zone."
