• North Korea fires multiple missiles into East Sea on Nov. 4; Kim Yo Jong rejects talks with US

  South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said North Korea fired multiple missiles into the East Sea on Wednesday, Nov. 4, from the Sondok area of South Hamgyong Province. Days earlier it fired about a dozen short-range ballistic missiles from the Wonsan area, and state media reported a test of a cluster warhead for tactical ballistic missiles. Kim Yo Jong said dialogue could still be a path to peace but cannot resume until Washington drops its demand for total denuclearization. She called the FBI's attribution of a theft of more than $6 billion in cryptocurrency from Binance to North Korean hackers a 'grave political provocation.' Trump's Asia trip, where a Kim meeting had been floated, is about two weeks away. Launch site and missile type differ across reports.
