## Summary

North Korea fired several missiles into the Sea of Japan, according to South Korea’s military, marking Pyongyang’s fourth weapons launch in a month. The launches came hours after North Korea rejected US claims that its hackers stole more than $6bn from cryptocurrency exchange Binance, adding to tensions as Washington seeks renewed dialogue.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missiles were launched from the eastern coastal area of Sondok, and South Korean and US authorities were analysing the details. The FBI attributed the Binance theft to the North Korean group TraderTraitor, which it also linked to last year’s $1.5bn Bybit hack. Kim Yo Jong called the US announcement hostile and said dialogue was out of the question unless Washington changed its policy; recent North Korean tests have included hypersonic and submarine-launched missiles.
