Kyiv has assessed Russia will help Pyongyang set up Shahed drone factories on North Korean soil, posing new challenges for Seoul.

North Korea launched "more than a dozen" rockets on Thursday morning, the South Korean Ministry of Defense said. The rockets were launched at about 10 a.m. local time from the Sun'an area of North Korea's capital,

North Korea reportedly launched over 10 rockets from Sunan towards the northwest, raising concerns as the country is banned from ballistic missile tests under UN resolutions. The development comes weeks after a recent warship failure that led to Kim Jong Un's harsh criticism and arrests of officials.
