Escalating Tensions on the Korean Peninsula

Since late September, the Korean Peninsula has witnessed a new round of escalation of tensions. Coinciding with multiple joint and individual military exercises of the USA, ROK and Japan, the DPRK launched at least 30 ballistic missiles from 25 September to 14 November 2022 and fired artillery shells into the maritime buffer zone of the Comprehensive Military Agreement and/or around the Northern Limit Line (NLL, the de-facto maritime border between the two Koreas) on five occasions.
