It landed in international waters off the east coast of South Korea.

Whatever the motive, it leaves Yoon’s “audacious plan” unveiled on 15 August, setting out the benefits North Korea would receive in return for a denuclearisation programme, looks even more of a dead letter. The other school says this underplays the extent to which North Korea’s leaders are driven by fear of domestic economic failure.

But it's also a sign of how much he's doubling down on continuing this war, that he's willing to go outside the lifelines, as it were, to find foreign suppliers.” “I'm actually more concerned with what the Iranians are doing than what the North Koreans are doing,” Williams said. “What North Korea is providing to Russia is older, unguided artillery shells,” said Ian Williams, deputy director of the Missile Defense Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “So, the kind that you essentially fire just based on the ballistic trajectory, and it will kind of land where it may. resolution that forbids weapons sales from the pariah nation, he said, adding that the U.S.
