North Korea Conducts 2nd Missile Test of 2025

North Korea has conducted another missile test, firing at least one unidentified projectile towards its eastern waters, according to South Korea's military. This marks the second launch by North Korea in 2025, following a previous launch last week. The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff have yet to offer further specifics about the recent launch.

Last week's missile test showcased a new hypersonic intermediate-range missile, as described by North Korea. Leader Kim Jong Un emphasized the intent to develop an enhanced arsenal of nuclear-capable weaponry, targeting threats from adversaries in the Pacific region. North Korea's aggressive missile development continues to be a significant concern for regional security, heightening tensions with neighboring nations.
