North Korea has launched at least 84 missiles in 2022 — including 25 in a single day — an unprecedented number of tests that has escalated tension with the U.S. and across Asia and raised fears that leader Kim Jong-Un is planning another nuclear test, its seventh since 2017.
North Korea began testing missiles in 1984 but has accelerated its development of short- and long-range weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles potentially capable of reaching the U.S.
