"North Korea's Missile Launches Coincide with U.S. Submarine's Arrival in South"

North Korea fired two ballistic missiles into the sea off its east coast, shortly after a U.S. nuclear-powered submarine arrived in South Korea. The launches come amidst heightened tensions on the Korean Peninsula as South Korea and the United States increase their military readiness against North Korea's weapons program. North Korea has reacted angrily, stating that such deployments could meet the criteria for its use of nuclear weapons. The United States said it was consulting closely with its allies about the missile launches, which it described as destabilizing.
