North Korea Fires Missiles as US-South Korea Military Drills Begin

Pyongyang warns of potential 'accidental war' as tensions escalate over joint military exercises.

North Korea launched multiple unidentified ballistic missiles into the Yellow Sea on Monday, according to South Korea's military.
The missile tests coincide with the start of the annual US-South Korea joint military exercise, 'Freedom Shield,' which will run until March 21.
Pyongyang condemned the drills as a provocation and warned they could lead to war triggered by a single 'accidental shot.'
The warning follows a March 6 incident where South Korean fighter jets accidentally dropped bombs on a village during a training exercise, injuring 15 people.
Relations between North and South Korea remain strained, with the North frequently responding to such drills with missile tests, viewing them as preparations for an invasion.
