North Korea fires ballistic missile in latest show of force

The Hindu  

North Korea fired a ballistic missile on May 4, Seoul said, a week after Kim Jong Un vowed to boost Pyongyang's nuclear arsenal and just days before South Korea inaugurates a new President. Last week, Kim oversaw a huge military parade, vowed to rapidly expand and improve his nuclear arsenal, and warned of possible "pre-emptive" strikes — as satellite imagery indicates he may soon resume nuclear testing. North Korea fired the ballistic missile at 12.03 p. m., Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff said, likely from the Sunan Airfield near Pyongyang, the site of previous recent ICBM tests. It is "virtually impossible" for the Security Council to sanction North Korea — which has supported Moscow's attack on Kyiv — due to Russia's veto power, said Cheong Seong-chang of the Center for North Korea Studies at the Sejong Institute.
