North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles toward its eastern waters, the latest in a recent barrage of weapons tests.

This news comes a day after North Korea warned the redeployment of a US aircraft carrier near the Korean Peninsula was inflaming regional tensions.

The Japanese government confirmed the launches, saying Pyongyang’s testing activities are “absolutely unacceptable”.

Japan says the weapons could be submarine-launched ballistic missiles.

The first missile was fired at about 1:47am local time and the second one some six minutes later.

On Tuesday, nuclear-armed North Korea test-fired a ballistic missile farther than ever before, sending it soaring over Japan for the first time in five years.

Residents in Japan ran for cover.

Mr Ino said Tokyo would not tolerate the repeated actions by North Korea.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump squared off in their first and possibly only debate, with both sides taking some big swings.

Harris wasted no time poking fun at Trump’s rallies, even daring viewers to see for themselves.

That dig clearly got under Trump’s skin.

At one point, Trump bizarrely claimed immigrants were eating pets in Ohio – a claim swiftly debunked by the moderators.

Harris hit Trump hard on his election fraud claims, reminding voters that 81 million Americans fired him in 2020.

Things heated up when the two accused each other of using the Justice Department for political attacks – calling each other threats to democracy. #featured #trending #hotshots
