## Summary

North Korea fired several missiles from its east coast towards the Sea of Japan on 4 November, according to South Korea’s military. The launches add to a recent series of weapons tests as Pyongyang takes a harder line towards Seoul and Washington, amid rising tensions over a landmine blast near the border.

South Korea and the United States said they tracked the launches and are analysing the missiles’ specifications. The firing followed North Korean tests of strategic cruise missiles and cluster-bomb warheads, as well as trials involving attack drones, a torpedo system and a hypersonic missile. Kim Jong Un’s sister warned of a stronger response to US policy, while Donald Trump said he might meet the North Korean leader during his Asian tour.
