SEOUL, Nov. 2 (Yonhap)--North Korea launched at least three short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs) into the East Sea on Wednesday, one of which flew across its de facto maritime border with South Korea, according to the South's military.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said the missile firing from a site in or around the North's eastern coastal city of Wonsan was detected at around 8:51 a.m.

Being a North Korean rocket scientist has got to be one of the most stressful jobs in the world.

Probably raided a few North Korea elementary school lunch funds.

Thanks Biden!
Why anyone is ever stupid enough to vote Democrat is beyond me.
High food prices.
High gas prices.
War.
Climbing interest rates.
Great voting, Democrats. Really great voting. Thanks a lot.
The Forking Useless Nations
At least they are not detonating nuclear bombs , like the USA did over the Marshall Islands between 1946-1958 . = to 7000 Hiroshima bombs !
I hope to God they don’t hit a passenger plane. Seriously. This is bad.
High turnover too.
End result is being a test target for AA guns.
“Congrats on today’s launch Kim”
