A TV screen at Seoul Station, in the center of the capital, shows a report on North Korea's firing of its first ballistic missiles in five months on Oct. 22, 2025, about a week before South Korea hosts the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit and U.

The launch using hypersonic missiles comes ahead of US President Donald Trump’s visit to South Korea for a major summit.

SEOUL - Soon after the ground shook around its nuclear testing facility, North Korea trumpeted its first hydrogen bomb test - a powerful, self-proclaimed "H-bomb of justice" that would mark a major and unanticipated advance for its still-limited nuclear arsenal.

Footage aired by the state-run Korean Central Television showed a North Korean female singer with a "bowl haircut" performing a group dance in sync with background dancers during an art performance held Sunday marking the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Workers' Party of Korea.

The presidential Office of National Security (ONS) said Wednesday it held an emergency meeting following North Korea's launch of short-range ballistic missiles.

North Korea's unveiling of new advanced systems during the 10 October parade is a showcase of the progress that the country has made towards fielding more mature, nimble, and survivable weapon systems.
