Korea. North Korea launches a record number of missiles: 23 in a single day. This is merely the culmination of increased military activity in the area. One of North Korea’s ICBM tests fails upon detachment of the second stage. A few hours later, Washington and Seoul decide to extend the large-scale joint exercises, dubbed “Vigilant Storm,” to an unknown date. These exercises involve 240 aircraft and thousands of soldiers. North Korea has tested at least 30 missiles so far in 2022, although the individual missile count is much higher. The weapons launched include both cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. On November 2, North Korea launched at least 23 short-range missiles of various types to the east and west of the Korean Peninsula, according to the South Korean Ministry of Defense. This was the highest number of North Korean short-range missiles launched in a single day and includes a ballistic missile that landed near South Korean territorial waters for the first time since the division of Korea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
