North Korea fires projectile towards the sea, South Korean military says

North Korea fired a projectile towards the sea on Tuesday, South Korea's military said, in the latest show of force from Pyongyang.
The launch adds to a pattern of weapons tests that have kept the Korean peninsula on edge through the year, alongside Pyongyang's showcasing of advanced military technology.
Seoul and Washington typically respond with joint drills, a cycle that has shown no sign of breaking.
The timing, amid global attention on Ukraine and the Middle East, underlines how many flashpoints are competing for diplomatic bandwidth.
