North Korea fired a ballistic missile into the sea east of the Korean peninsula on Sunday, landing outside Japan's special economic zone. Japan defence ministry reported the launch. South Korea convened a National Security Council meeting and condemned the test as a violation of UN Security Council resolutions.
The launch came a day after North Korea rejected a UN nuclear watchdog resolution against its atomic programme. Kim Jong Un's sister Kim Yo Jong had blamed US-led naval exercises involving South Korea and Japan for rising tensions. This was North Korea's second missile test in a week, after a previous test on September 12. South Korea urged Pyongyang to halt missile activities immediately.
The ballistic missile launch follows recent military drills led by the US near Guam that ran from August 29 to September 10. North Korea has not commented on Sunday's test. Regional security officials are monitoring for further launches.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Three different stories from Aaj Tak appear to have been provided as separate sources, but they are unrelated in topic. The first is a beauty DIY story on flaxseed collagen serum for home use. The second is a news report on North Korea launching a ballistic missile and regional reactions. The third is a cricket commentary piece about Wasim Akram criticising Babar Azam's return to Test captaincy.

The coverage is straight reporting on each topic without political slant, serving distinct audience interests. Aaj Tak presents each in a neutral, instructional or informative tone with no government or ideological framing apparent in the texts.
