North Korea has been very busy lately. They have launched several missiles into the sea off their east coast.
These launches are part of a plan to put more pressure on the United States. North Korean officials say they are testing a new type of weapon. They are calling this weapon "hypersonic," which is a fancy way of saying it flies incredibly fast and is very hard for other countries to stop.
North Korea even bragged that these new weapons are designed to give their enemies an "incurable headache."
South Korea confirmed that at least one ballistic missile and another projectile were fired toward the water. In total, reports say North Korea fired two missiles within just three hours.
This is the latest in a series of moves by North Korea to show off their military power. They want the world to pay attention to their weapons program. For now, the situation in the region remains tense as other countries watch these tests closely.
