North Korea launched two short-range missiles Thursday in its second such test in under a week, part of a calibrated escalation of pressure on Washington that coincided almost exactly with a U.S. test of an intercontinental ballistic missile.

U.S. authorities have seized a North Korean ship allegedly used to sell coal in violation of international sanctions, the first such move by Justice Department officials as they ratchet up enforcement efforts against the regime in Pyongyang.


Justice Department officials Thursday confirmed that the vessel, the Wise Honest, was approaching U.S. territorial waters in American Samoa, in coordination with the U.S. Marshals Service and the Coast Guard.


“This sanctions-busting ship is now out of service,” Assistant Attorney General John C. Demers said in announcing the seizure.

Another missile test.

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff announced that the missiles, which flew about 155 miles and reached an altitude of 18 miles, were launched about 20 minutes apart early Wednesday morning from the Kalma area near North Korea's Wonsan port.

North Korea launched what appeared to be two short-range ballistic missiles on Sunday, the most recent in a flurry of missile tests conducted by the regime in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

They would be the eighth and ninth missiles launched in four rounds of tests this month as North Korea conducts military drills. That’s the most missiles North Korea has ever fired in a single month, tweeted Shea Cotton, a senior researcher at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies.

South Korea said the two “short-range projectiles” flew 230 kilometers (140 miles) at a maximum altitude of 30 kilometers (20 miles), while Japan’s Ministry of Defense said they appeared to be ballistic missiles.

“In a situation where the entire world is experiencing difficulties due to COVID-19, this kind of military act by North Korea is very inappropriate and we call for an immediate halt,” South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.

BBC reporting that it's a single source story. There is no denial of the surgery, but also no confirmation of Kim being ill.
