North Korea fired tactical guided missiles on Monday, the latest in a series of recent tests.

North Korea fired tactical guided missiles on Monday (January 17), state media KCNA said on Tuesday (January 18), the latest in a series of recent tests that highlighted its evolving missile programs amid stalled denuclearisation talks.

The Academy of Defence Science conducted a test of tactical guided missiles from the country's west, and they "precisely hit an island target" off the east coast, the official KCNA news agency said, without elaborating.
