The two missiles were fired off the nation’s east coast

North Korea has fired two short-range ballistic missiles off its east coast.

The missiles were fired around 7:40am local time from the South Hwanghae province, near the country’s west coast, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.

The South Korean military was on high alert and maintaining full readiness posture under close coordination with the United States, the JCS added in a statement.

No damage has been reported.

The launch comes days after North Korea test-fired two strategic cruise missiles from a submarine.

South Korean and U.S. forces are currently doing 11 days of joint drills in the region, dubbed “Freedom Shield 23,” which will be held on a scale not seen since 2017 to counter the North’s growing threat.

North Korean state media KCNA reported the country has decided to take “important practical” war deterrence measures, saying, “War provocations of the U.S. and South Korea are reaching the red-line.”

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
