“North Korea has fired several ballistic missiles as South Korea and the United States initiated military drills. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said on Monday that North Korea’s fifth launch event this year fired several missiles off the west coast into the sea. The launch came as South Korea and the US began their annual Freedom Shield joint exercises. The drills are scheduled to last until March 20. That drew condemnation from nuclear-armed Pyongyang, which issued a statement calling the exercises a ‘dangerous provocative act’ that increases the risk of military conflict.” (03/10/25)
