A man watches a TV screen showing a news program reporting about North Korea’s missile with file footage at a train station in Seoul, South Korea, Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2022. North Korea fired a suspected ballistic missile into the sea on Wednesday, the South Korean and Japanese militaries said, its first public weapons launch in about two months and a signal that Pyongyang isn’t interested in rejoining denuclearization talks anytime soon and would rather focus on boosting its weapons arsenal. The letters read “North Korea fired a suspected ballistic missile.” (AP Photo/Lee Jin-man).
