North Korea Fires Ballistic Missile Toward East Sea Amid Korean Peninsula Tensions

North Korea launched a ballistic missile from the Wonsan area toward the East Sea on Saturday morning, according to South Korean and Japanese officials. South Korea raised its monitoring posture and convened an emergency national security council meeting. The launch followed a statement from Kim Yo Jong dismissing South Korea's demand for an apology over a DMZ mine incident that injured two South Korean soldiers.
