Tensions on the Korean Peninsula have increased as a result of North Korea's spate of missile testing.
On March 19, 2024, North Korea tested its short-range ballistic missile defense system by firing missiles around its east coast.
Japan reported that it had tested two missiles simultaneously at 7.44 am local time (19.03.2024) and then another missile 37 minutes later.
Despite worldwide criticism, North Korea has continued to test its nuclear weapons often.
Here, on 18.03.2024, three missiles were tested one after the other.
North Korea is occasionally threatened by joint military drills between the United States and South Korea.
North Korea tested a missile last month.
Now that the missile tests have resumed, tensions are growing on the Korean Peninsula.
Bumio Kishida, the prime minister of Japan, denounced the missile test.
