missile tests

North Korea launched multiple short-range anti-ship cruise missiles into the sea and Sukhoi jets fired air-to-surface missiles on Tuesday.

South Korea’s military said North Korea conducted its second weapons test in less than a week.

North Korea will make another attempt to launch a rocket into space between Dec. 10 and Dec. 22, months after a launch carried out by the impoverished state failed.

Iran said Tuesday it has tested medium-range missiles that are capable of hitting targets as far away as Israel in an attempt to discourage the United States or Jerusalem from attacking it, state-run media reported.
