North Korea fired about 10 short-range ballistic missiles into the sea on Thursday amid escalating tensions with South Korea. The launch came days after it threatened to resume its propaganda and deploy new weapons along the border.

South Korea’s military said it detected missiles launched from the east coast city of Wonsan. The military is stepping up surveillance and sharing information with the United States and Japan.

Tensions between the two Koreas have escalated after three South Korean soldiers were injured in a landmine explosion last month. Seoul has blamed North Korea for the Sept. 21 blast. But Pyongyang has denied involvement and threatened to retaliate if provoked.TAG_OPEN_div_20

TAG_OPEN_div_16 In recent weeks, North Korea has tested a range of weapons, including submarine-launched cruise missiles and hypersonic missiles. Experts say North Korea is trying to pressure the United States to accept major concessions after U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his desire to resume diplomatic dialogue with leader Kim Jong-un.

Meanwhile, Kim visited China’s border city of Dandong on Saturday. This is his sixth visit to China since coming to power at the end of 2011. Recalling China’s support for North Korea in the Korean War, he said he would advance the “invincible” friendship with China. During his meeting with Wang Huning, a senior official of the Communist Party of China, he also reiterated his commitment to expand bilateral cooperation.TAG_OPEN_div_14

North Korea, which has been providing troops and ammunition to Russia in its war against Ukraine, has prioritized relations with Moscow in recent years. Now, Kim is also trying to strengthen relations with China.TAG_OPEN_div_12
