- North Korea launched two ballistic missiles off its eastern coast on Sunday, marking its second set of missile tests in roughly a week.
- Pyongyang had accused the U.S. days earlier of driving tensions on the Korean Peninsula through a series of military drills, framing the latest launches within that context.
Why it matters: Two test rounds within roughly one week, with Pyongyang explicitly tying the launches to U.S. military drills, compress the gap between provocations and raise the rhetorical cost of pausing the program while leaving the diplomatic off-ramp narrower.
