North Korea Fires Two Ballistic Missiles Before Upcoming Trump-Xi Summit
Wasn’t that nice of North Korea to provide some fireworks prior to the Trump-Xi summit? In all seriousness, the Kim regime does these launches to keep themselves relevant on the world stage.

North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles toward the East Sea within hours of each other Sunday, ahead of a high-stakes summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping set for later this week.
The missile were detected about three hours apart — the first at around 3:00 p.m. and the second at roughly 5:50 p.m., both launched from the Wonsan area, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.
