The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) fired multiple ballistic missiles on Wednesday, adding to a launch a day earlier, South Korea's military said, extending a series of tests that have strained hopes in Seoul for easing tensions.⁣ ⁣ The incidents mark DPRK's fourth, fifth and sixth ballistic missile launches this year, following two in January and a third in March.⁣ ⁣ Analysts say the launches could reflect routine weapons development, and may be linked to ongoing engine and propulsion testing, including work on solid-fuel systems.⁣ ⁣ Pyongyang has been seeking to upgrade its strike capability with solid-fuel missiles that are often easier and safer to operate and require less logistical support than liquid-fueled weapons.⁣ ⁣ #news #DPRK #asia #missile
