North Korea Fires Cruise Missiles As U.S. Nuclear Submarine Docks in South; Second Warning In 4 days

North Korea fired cruise missiles into the Yellow Sea on Saturday. The provocative move came shortly after a U.S. nuclear submarine docked in South Korea, amplifying regional concerns. South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) reported the missile launches around 4 am and confirmed that they were directed towards the sea west of the Korean Peninsula. In response, South Korea's military has bolstered surveillance and vigilance, closely coordinating with the U.S. to maintain a firm readiness posture. The missile firings were the second such incident after North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles from an area near Pyongyang.
