North Korea Fires 10 Missiles After Trump Cuts Back US-South Korea War Games

North Korea fired about 10 missiles into nearby waters on August 20, 2026 — one day after President Trump ordered smaller joint military exercises with South Korea. Kim Yo-jong, a top North Korean official, shrugged off the change, warning the US would "not get the desired answer." South Korea called an emergency security meeting; Japan also spotted the launches.
