Last update: 2 hours agoMissile Posture: North Korea fired a short-range ballistic missile toward the East Sea/Sea of Japan from the Wonsan area, with South Korea’s Joint Chiefs saying it was detected around 5 p.m. and that Seoul and Washington are analyzing specs while keeping readiness for more launches. Propaganda Gap: Pyongyang’s state media did not report the launch the next morning, a departure from its usual pattern that analysts say can happen when launches are deemed minor or low on propaganda value.

Cyber Threats: A researcher at Black Hat said North Korean hackers have breached 1,640 companies across 57 countries, with some gaining root access to cloud servers and crypto keys.
