This photo taken from an observatory in the South Korean border city of Paju on Aug. 12, 2026, shows a village in the North Korean town of Kaepung on the western front-line border with South Korea. North Korea fired a ballistic missile toward the East Sea the same day, marking the second such launch in less than a week in an apparent protest against the annual Ulchi Freedom Shield combined military exercise between the South and the United States.
