North Korea fired four short-range ballistic missiles into the western sea on Saturday morning, said South Korean military, adding the missiles flew about 80 miles at an altitude of about 12 miles. Pyongyang on Friday demanded that the United States and South Korea halt “provocative” air exercises. South Korea said it scrambled warplanes in response to 180 North Korean military flights near the countries’ shared border on Friday. On Wednesday, North Korea fired a daily record 23 missiles, with one landing off the coast of South Korea for the first time. In recent years the U.N. Security Council has been split on how to deal with North Korea and in May, China and Russia vetoed a U.S.-led push to impose more U.N. sanctions in response to North Korean missile launches.

Ar putea reprezenta cea mai cumplită noapte de violențe în acea zonă din ultimii cel puțin patru ani, potrivit grupului de cercetare Kivu Security Tracker (KST). “Când am ajuns acolo, am găsit că atacatorii uciseseră deja un pastor anglican iar fiica sa era grav rănită”, a declarat Basegu. Grupul KST, care a mapat evenimentele violente din estul neliniștit al RD Congo încă din iunie 2017, a transmis pe Twitter că soția unui lider local era printe cei morți. KST nu a desemnat vinovați pentru omoruri, scrie digi24.roEste cel mai mare număr de victime înregistrat vreodată de KST într-o singură zi, potrivit coordonatorului grupului, Pierre Boisselet.
