North Korea fires missiles again amid unusual flurry of tests - BBC News

North Korea has conducted more missile tests to advance its weapons programme, which it says is necessary to defend itself against a possible US invasion.

Already in January, six tests have been carried out on hypersonic as well as short-range and long-range ballistic missiles.

The UN prohibits North Korea from ballistic and nuclear weapons tests, and has imposed strict sanctions.

But the East Asian state regularly defies the ban, and leader Kim Jong-un has vowed to bolster his country's defences.
