North Korea Launches Missiles Ahead of U.S. Presidential Election

Tensions rise as North Korea conducts missile tests and reportedly sends troops to Russia, heightening global security concerns.

North Korea fired a series of short-range ballistic missiles into the waters east of the Korean Peninsula, marking its second launch in five days.
The missile tests come just hours before the U.S. presidential election, drawing international scrutiny and concern.
South Korea, Japan, and the United States have increased military surveillance and shared intelligence in response to the missile launches.
Reports suggest North Korea has deployed approximately 10,000 soldiers to Russia, allegedly to support Russian forces in Ukraine, a claim Pyongyang has neither confirmed nor denied.
The missile tests follow calls from U.S. and South Korean defense ministers for North Korea to withdraw its troops from Russia, amid growing North Korea-Russia ties.
