South Korea says North Korea fired at least  1 ballistic missile toward its eastern waters

SEOUL, Nov 7: North Korea on Friday fired at least one ballistic missile toward its eastern waters, South Korea’s military said, as Pyongyang steps up its testing activity while talks with Washington and Seoul remain stalled. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff didn’t immediately release other details, including what type of ballistic weapon it was or how far it flew. North Korea has been accelerating the pace of its weapons testing in recent weeks, including the firing of purported hypersonic missiles and cruise missiles last month that it said expanded the capabilities of its nuclear-armed military. South Korea’s military previously said it detected the North firing 10 rounds of artillery into its western waters on Monday as US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth began a two-day visit
