North Korea announced it tested an intermediate-range strategic missile on Saturday, with state media saying the launch involved the use of artificial intelligence. The test came hours after South Korea's military detected a ballistic missile launched from the Wonsan area toward the East Sea. The launch occurred days after Seoul demanded an apology for an explosion in the Demilitarized Zone that wounded three South Korean soldiers, which Pyongyang has denied responsibility for. South Korea, the US, and Japan are maintaining a robust defense posture through close information sharing.
