North Korea Fires Missiles Ahead of U.S. Election
North Korea fired multiple short-range ballistic missiles into the eastern sea on November 1, 2024, coinciding with the U.S. presidential election, marking an escalation in military activity. The South Korean military did not specify the number of missiles, but reports indicate they flew approximately 400 kilometers before landing in waters outside Japan's exclusive economic zone without causing damage. This missile launch follows North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's supervision of a test of an intercontinental ballistic missile intended to reach the U.S. mainland, prompting a U.S. show of force with a B-1B bomber exercise alongside South Korea and Japan. Analysts suggest North Korea aims to leverage its expanded nuclear arsenal for concessions post-election, with indications that Kim prefers a Trump presidency due to past diplomatic engagements. Recent reports also highlight deepening military ties between North Korea and Russia, raising concerns about implications for regional security and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
