North Korea Fires Missile During Blinken's Visit to South Korea – Provocation Amid Political Turmoil [Video]

North Korea Fires Missile During Blinken's Visit to South Korea – Provocation Amid Political Turmoil

North Korea has conducted a ballistic missile test coinciding with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to South Korea for high-level diplomatic talks. The missile, believed to be an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM), traveled over 1,100 kilometers before landing in the sea. South Korea's military condemned the act as a "clear provocation," while the timing raises questions about Pyongyang's intent to influence the summit discussions. As tensions rise, South Korea, the U.S., and Japan are coordinating their response.
