Ask what Korea is talking about.

North Korea fired around a dozen short-range ballistic missiles toward the East Sea on Thursday afternoon, the South Korean military said. The Joint Chiefs of Staff detected the launches from the Wonsan area at around 12:30 p.m., with further analysis underway, Yonhap and the Korea Times report. The launch came after Seoul's offer for talks aimed at easing border tensions, which the Korea Times describes as an apparent cold rebuff. Korean news outlets are reporting the event as a military provocation, with the JCS confirming the detection without elaborating on the projectile type in initial reports.
