On March 14, North Korea fired more than 10 ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan. The missiles fell outside the country's exclusive economic zone, and there are no immediate reports of damage. Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has ordered the government to gather all information and ensure the safety of aircraft and ships.
The missile test comes amid growing speculation that a meeting between Kim and Trump is possible. South Korean Prime Minister Kim Min-seok said on March 13 that Trump is positive about resuming dialogue with North Korea. Therefore, there is a possibility of a meeting with Kim Jong-un during Trump's visit to Beijing in late March.
