North Korea fires second unidentified projectile toward East Sea in two days

North Korea launched at least one unidentified projectile toward the East Sea on Wednesday, according to South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff, marking the second such launch in as many days. The previous day's launch from the Pyongyang area reportedly showed signs of abnormality shortly after liftoff. These consecutive tests signal renewed weapons development activity amid ongoing tensions on the Korean Peninsula. The launches underscore North Korea's continued ballistic missile program despite international sanctions and diplomatic stalled negotiations.
