- Two ballistic missiles were fired by North Korea on Friday, the first in two weeks.
- The launch came as South Korea concluded its annual “Hoguk” military drills, which lasted for 12 days and included some U.S. troops.
- U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said that the launches don’t pose an “immediate threat” but do “highlight the destabilizing impact of the DPRK’s unlawful WMD and ballistic missile programs.”
