North Korea Continues to Launch Missiles Amidst U.S.-South Korea Military Drills.
TL;DR Summary
North Korea has conducted three rounds of missile tests, including launches from a submarine, to protest the 11-day military drills underway in South Korea since Monday. The US and South Korea are carrying out major military exercises, which North Korea sees as a "declaration of war". The drills come after a record year of weapons activity by North Korea, which fired more than 70 missiles in 2021. The recent deployment of US strategic assets, from nuclear submarines to bombers, appears to have especially aggravated Pyongyang.
