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.

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.
