North Korea Launches Ballistic Missile Off East Coast The recent launch of a short range ballistic missile by North Korea into the sea off its east coast is the latest in a long standing pattern of aggression.
This incident appears to be just another chapter in the ongoing saga of tensions between the North and South, with the US and Japan caught in the middle.
Historically, North Korea has used missile tests as a way to assert its power and influence on the global stage.
