North Korea Launches Ballistic Missile Before Start of Freedom Shield Exercise

How nice of North Korea to launch some fireworks before the start of the Freedom Shield exercise next month:

North Korea fired a short-range ballistic missile toward the Yellow Sea on Thursday, Seoul’s military said, in the latest show of force ahead of a major South Korea-U.S. military exercise set to begin next week.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said it detected the launch from the North’s western port city of Nampo at 6:20 p.m. It did not elaborate further.
