North Korea has launched an unidentified projectile towards the East Sea, according to South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff. The launch was reported early on January 14, 2025, and the nature of the projectile remains unclear. This incident marks another in a series of launches by North Korea, with the previous one occurring just eight days prior on January 6. The timing of the launch is notable as it comes ahead of the scheduled inauguration of Donald Trump as the U.S. President on January 20, 2025.
