North Korea launched two ballistic missiles into the sea near Japan on Thursday, Japan's prime minister said, fuelling tension ahead of the Tokyo Olympics and ramping up pressure on the Biden administration as it finalises its North Korea policy.
Japan's leader says North Korea launched two ballistic missiles into the sea near his country on Thursday, a step up from a weekend test of shorter-range weapons, and adding new pressure onto the Biden White House.
The Japanese government said one missile flew about 260 miles, pointing to a short-range missile.
Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga told reporters he would bring up the launch next month in a visit to Washington.
"The first launch in just less than a year represents a threat to peace and stability in Japan and the region and violates U.N.
Resolutions." He also added he would work to ensure a safe and secure Olympics, now set for late July.
U.N.
Security Council resolutions ban North Korea from testing ballistic missiles.
North Korea has not tested a nuclear weapon or its longest-range intercontinental ballistic missiles since 2017, ahead of an historic meeting in Singapore between leader Kim Jong Un and former U.S. President Donald Trump in 2018.
Senior U.S. officials told Reuters this week Biden officials are in the final stages of reviewing their North Korea policy.
Analysts have noted a change in wording from the previous administration, emphasising the "denuclearisation of North Korea", rather than North and South, a more unilateral position unlikely to go down well in Pyongyang.

The Russia-North Korea defense pact signals a significant shift in global power dynamics, challenging stability in East Asia. This alliance complicates U.S. efforts to isolate North Korea and may accelerate Pyongyang's military capabilities. China faces a dilemma, potentially losing influence over North Korea to Russia. The pact's ambiguity raises concerns about miscalculation. International responses must balance firm resolve with openness to dialogue, prioritizing diplomacy to address root causes of tension while maintaining commitment to denuclearization and UN resolutions.

US authorities boosted Trump's security weeks ago due to an Iranian plot, unrelated to the recent Pennsylvania attack. Despite enhanced measures, questions arise about how the gunman got so close. The incident prompts a Biden-ordered review and Congressional probes into the Secret Service. Iranian threats against Trump and former officials persist since Soleimani's 2020 assassination.

The 2024 Paris Olympics roster for the U.S. women's soccer team was announced by coach Emma Hayes on June 26, CNN reports. .
Only eight players from the 2020 Olympics
are included on the 22-player roster.
Morgan, a women's soccer
legend, was not one of them. .
She took to X to express her disappointment.
Today, I’m disappointed about not
having the opportunity to represent
our country on the Olympic stage. , Alex Morgan, via X.
This will always be a tournament that
is close to my heart and I take immense
pride any time I put on the crest, Alex Morgan, via X.
In less than a month, I look forward
to supporting this team and
cheering them on alongside
the rest of our country, Alex Morgan, via X.

I think looking through the cap accumulation
of the team, there’s been a lack of
development of putting players – some of
the less experienced players – in positions
where they can develop that experience. , Coach Emma Hayes, via news conference.
And I think it’s important that we have
to do that to take the next step, Coach Emma Hayes, via news conference.
It’s a balanced roster. I’ve considered
all the factors that we’re gonna need
throughout the Olympics and (it’s)
one that I’m really happy with, Coach Emma Hayes, via news conference.
Having a roster that could adapt is
essential. You have a tight turnaround
between games so, of course, having
players on the roster who can play more than
one position mattered with squad depth, Coach Emma Hayes, via news conference

US officials claim that Iran wants to Kill former President Donald Trump before the November election, Politico reported on Tuesday. The Republican nominee survived an attempt on his life last week. It was not an Iranian plot, two senior officials told the outlet, but other acts of violence may come within weeks, they claimed. The prediction is based on assessments by the US intelligence community, which is increasingly confident about Iran’s intentions, according to the sources.

Moscow's deepening security ties with Beijing, Pyongyang and other US adversaries have surprised Washington. Putin signed a deal with North Korea and visited China, admitting US efforts to split Russia-China failed. The US accuses these nations of aiding Russia's military industry, evading sanctions through technology transfers. While not a formal NATO-style alliance, these bilateral exchanges could boost adversaries' capabilities long-term, threatening US interests.
