The Jerusalem Post:

Russia and North Korea continue to carry out missile tests, including a North Korean test with two short-range ballistic missiles and a Russian test of an anti-ship missile. These tests are symbolic saber-rattling by two countries both seeking to challenge the US and its partners. The potential consequences extend not only into Asia but also to the Middle East.

Iran, which has developed ballistic missiles for years, is often involved in these types of tests. It also provides Russia with armed drones and is expected to look for a way to aid Iran’s military programs in the future. Simultaneously, North Korea has been linked to Iran’s missile programs in the past: A 2021 UN report indicated that the two resumed missile cooperation.

South Korea’s military said that North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles on Monday: “Our military detected two short-range ballistic missiles fired from around Junghwa area in North Hwanghae province from 07:47 am (2247 GMT) towards the East Sea,” South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.
