North Korea tests missile ahead of vote seen as gauge of support for hardline South Korean leader
SEOUL — North Korea test-fired a presumed intermediate-range ballistic missile on Tuesday, South Korean officials said, its latest military maneuver since leader Kim Jong Un’s New Year declaration that he was ending a policy seeking reconciliation with the South.Pyongyang made no immediate comment on the suspected test, which comes just over a week before key legislative elections in South Korea that will provide a barometer of support for conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol, who has taken a hard line against the North during his two years in office.North Korea, which has faced years of international sanctions over its nuclear weapons program, has ramped up its weapons tests and military exercises in recent weeks.On March 19, Pyongyang said it had tested a multistage, solid-fueled...

Ukraine’s AI-enabled drones trying to disrupt Russia’s energy industry

Seconds later, the drone dives from the sky, smashing into a pipe-covered tower at a Russian oil refinery, exploding on impact.CNN geolocated the videos to Rosneft’s Ryazan...
