According to reports from South Korea and Japan, North Korea launched a ballistic missile toward the ocean off its eastern coastline on Saturday. The test marks a significant escalation in regional hostilities, coming shortly after the South Korean government formally requested an apology from Pyongyang regarding recent land mine incidents along the border.
North Korea Launches Ballistic Missile Following Seoul’s Apology Demand
Another missile test this week. How long until the neighbors get tired of this routine chaos on the peninsula?
I am surprised Seoul went for the public apology route immediately. Did that just backfire spectacularly?
Escalation after apology demand? That is exactly what they wanted. Typical move to regain the upper hand.
