        "content": "<p>North Korea launched several projectiles, including a ballistic\nmissile, into the Yellow Sea on Tuesday, 26 May. Pyongyang has conducted\na series of missile tests in recent weeks. Analysts suggest the\ndiplomatically isolated nation may be exploiting eroded international\nnorms to bolster its nuclear status. North Korea has repeatedly rejected\nSouth Korea\u2019s efforts to improve relations, with the communist state\nconsistently referring to Seoul as its number-one enemy. According to\nAFP, South Korea\u2019s Joint Chiefs of Staff reported detecting the launch\nof \u2018several projectiles\u2019, including a short-range ballistic missile,\nfrom Chongju in North Korea around 13:00 local time (04:00 GMT) into the\nYellow Sea. The Yellow Sea is the body of water separating the Korean\nPeninsula from China. South Korea\u2019s military stated the missiles flew\napproximately 80 kilometres (50 miles). They are analysing the missile\nspecifications and range, and have \u2018enhanced surveillance and vigilance\nin preparation for potential further launches\u2019. Seoul\u2019s military\naffirmed that South Korea, the United States, and Japan \u2018maintain full\nreadiness\u2019 and share intelligence closely. Tuesday\u2019s missile launch\nmarks North Korea\u2019s first in 37 days and the eighth of the year. In\nApril, Pyongyang conducted a similar test to \u2018verify the characteristics\nand explosive power of cluster bomb warheads\u2019, according to state media.\nSouth Korean news agency Yonhap reported last week, citing unnamed\ngovernment sources, that Chinese President Xi Jinping is likely to visit\nNorth Korea this week. China remains North Korea\u2019s primary economic and\npolitical supporter, although Pyongyang has grown closer to Russia in\nrecent years.<\/p>",
