North Korea Fires 10 Missiles, Sparks Panic; US THAAD Move Adds Tension

• North Korea launched 10 missiles in quick succession, causing alarm from South Korea to Japan.
• The missile launches occurred as the US moved parts of its THAAD defense system from South Korea to the Middle East.
• This US decision has raised concerns in Seoul, especially after a THAAD radar in Jordan was reportedly destroyed in an Iranian attack.
• Japan's Ministry of Defense confirmed a suspected ballistic missile launch, likely falling outside its EEZ with no reported damage.
• The timing is significant, adding to regional tensions already high due to the US-Israel-Iran conflict and China's aggressive policies.
