North Korea fires ballistic missile amid Seoul tensions

North Korea fired a ballistic missile from the Wonsan area on its east coast into the Sea of Japan on Saturday, according to South Korea and Japan. Pyongyang later claimed the intermediate-range missile had evasive flight and AI features, though South Korea, which often accuses the North of exaggerating capabilities, said it travelled more than 700 kilometres.
