In a worrisome development, North Korea has fired an unidentified ballistic missile into the East Sea, according to South Korea's military. The launch comes shortly after Pyongyang issued a threat to shoot down US spy planes trespassing into its airspace. Relations between the two Koreas have reached a new low, with diplomacy at a standstill. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has declared his nation an "irreversible" nuclear state, emphasizing the need for increased weapons development, including tactical nuclear capabilities.
