North Korea fires another ballistic missile, prompting warnings

North Korea has fired another missile into the waters off the coast of the Korean Peninsula

North Korea has sent another ballistic missile off, prompting urgent concern in the region.

This is Pyongyang’s sixth launch in less than two weeks, and comes after a week of escalating tensions in the region.

These developments are according to South Korean and Japanese officials, who believe a ballistic missile has been fired.

Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is urging extra safety for aircraft and vessels in the region.

Of course, North Korea is banned from carrying out these tests under UN sanctions.

But that hasn’t stopped Leader Kim Jong-Un from launching nearly 40 ballistic missiles over 20 different launch events this year.
