North Korea fired at least one unidentified projectile eastward on Saturday, according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The launch occurred as South Korea and the United States conducted their key springtime military exercise. Pyongyang has long criticized the allies' drills as preparations for an invasion.
The People's Liberation Army Navy's social media account China Military Bugle posted a video on Sunday showing naval strike tests at sea, including multiple YJ-20 missile launches. The release comes as the US and allies conduct Balikatan 2026 drills in the South China Sea, with Japan taking its first-ever operational role.

The South Korean and U.S. militaries have postponed announcing a date for their major springtime Freedom Shield exercise due to differences over the scale of on-field drills. The U.S. expressed reluctance to South Korea's proposal to minimize field training, citing already arrived troops and equipment. The two sides plan to announce the exercise later this month or early March.
