North Korea carries out suspected ballistic missile launch | Al Jazeera

North Korea launched two suspected ballistic missiles into the sea off its eastern coast, Japanese Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide said on Thursday, in a launch confirmed by the South and the United States, which is in the midst of a review of its policy towards the reclusive state.

North Korea is banned from developing ballistic missiles under United Nations Security Council resolutions and the launch adds a new challenge to US President Joe Biden’s efforts to engage with Pyongyang.
