"North Korea's Ballistic Missile Launch Coincides with U.S. Submarine Deployment in South Korea"

North Korea fired a ballistic missile into the eastern sea, following the arrival of a U.S. nuclear-propelled submarine in South Korea. The launch is seen as a protest against the show of force by the U.S. and South Korea. Last week, North Korea test-fired missiles in response to the arrival of another U.S. submarine. The American-led U.N. Command has also started a conversation with North Korea regarding a U.S. soldier who crossed the border, but details about the progress of the discussions remain undisclosed.
