North Korea test-fired an intermediate range ballistic missile while U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was in South Korea.

North Korea says it carried out its second missile test in two days — and this one was hypersonic. It came as U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken visited the region.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited South Korea amid political turmoil tere following the impeachment of President Yoon. Coinciding with Blinken's visit, North Korea has conducted another missile test.

The United States “has confidence in the resilience of South Korea’s democracy and the strength of its institutions,” the U.S. Secretary of State said in Seoul.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said a North Korean missile test carried out during his visit to Seoul on Monday was a reminder of the need to deepen Washington's cooperation with South Korea and Japan to deter an emboldened Pyongyang.

The launch event came as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was visiting Seoul for talks with South Korean allies over the North Korean nuclear threat and other issues.

North Korea test fires a ballistic missile as Blinken visits Seoul, where he warned that Putin could provide Kim Jong Un with advanced space technology.

During this sensitive time of Seoul’s political turmoil, Blinken’s much-awaited visit to South Korea is the last gift that the Biden administration wants to offer its ally.

With less than two weeks to go in his job, Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Asia. Today he's in Tokyo, after an earlier stop in South Korea that came with a surprise. HPRʻs Bill Dorman has more in todayʻs Asia Minute.
