The North Korean missile has reportedly come down in the Sea of Japan. The launch comes amid increasing tensions and provocative rhetoric from Pyongyang.

North Korea's military has launched a missile off its eastern coast and towards the sea, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff reported on Sunday.

It was not yet clear how far the missile flew, but Japan's Coast Guard said an "object, potentially ballistic missile, launched from North Korea," had already fallen.

Japanese broadcaster NHK said that the missile landed outside of the country's exclusive economic zone — a maritime region that surrounds the Japanese landmass.

Tensions rising after spy satellite launch

The missile launch is the first since Pyongyang test-fired its Hwasong-18 missile in mid-December.

The solid-fueled intercontinental ballistic missile was designed to reach the US mainland and is the country's most advanced long-range weapon. It was not clear whether Sunday's launch was also a Hwasong-18.

The missile launch comes after the north launched several rounds of artillery fire in exercises close to a disputed border on the Korean peninsula.

Tensions between the two neighbors has been ramping up after Pyongyang launched a military spy satellite in November and pledged to expand its nuclear arsenal.

North Korea points to what it calls US hostility to justify its own military maneuvers.

Pyongyang has also been upping its rhetoric, with leader Kim Jong Un calling South Korea "our principal enemy" earlier this week, and threatening to annihilate its southern neighbor if provoked.

Experts have warned that Pyongyang could increase its test-firing of ballistic missiles in the run up to South Korea's parliamentary elections in April and the US presidential elections in November.

Clampdown: Lagos taskforce impounds 354 Okada across metropolis

The Lagos State Government, through the state taskforce has impounded about 354 commercial motorcycles, popularly called Okoda, across the metropolis, in a renewed clampdown against illegal operations.

Jejeloye lamented that the activities of Okada along some highways in the state has continually put the life of commutters along those axis in harms' way.

The authorities of the University of Jos (UNIJOS) have confirmed the arrest of a female student, Tangsan Nansokaan Paksohot, who st@bbed a male colleague and co-tenant, Julius Nember. 

It was gathered that the incident happened on Thursday, January 11, 2024 at Rusau Village behind UNIJOS Students’ Village Hostel.

The suspect, from Chip Ward in Pankshin Local Government Area of Plateau State and a 300 level student of English, Faculty of Arts, stabbed Nember, a 200 level student of Library Science in Faculty of Education, from Mbakor, Tarka LGA, Benue State for making noise. 

Students of the institution are currently writing their second semester examination for the 2022/2023 academic session.

The Senior Deputy Registrar (Information and Publications) in UNIJOS, Abdullahi Abdullahi and Head, Department of English, Prof. Jeff Doki, confirmed the attack to Arise News, saying the culprit has been arrested by security agencies. 

"Yes, it’s true. But I can’t give you more details because this is a police matter. The student has been arrested by the police”, Abdullahi stated.

Shedding more light on the incident, Doki, a Professor of Comparative Literature, explained that the suspect took such measures after the victim  played loud music with his friend while she was reading for examination.

“Trouble started when Miss Tangsan was reading for her next morning’s exam ENG 322: Research Methods. Her next door neighbor, Julius and his friends were playing music with a cacophony that was not conducive for reading. Angered by this distraction, Miss Tangsan picked up her own padlock and locked Julius with all his male friends inside Julius ‘s room,” he explained. 

"When the protest from Julius and his inmates was drawing the attention of  their concerned neighbors, Miss Tangsan sent her friend with the key to liberate them. When eventually they got their freedom, Julius and his friends accosted Miss Tangsan in her room demanding an explanation for their sudden imprisonment without trial. Angered for a second time, Miss Tangsan picked up her cooking knife and stabbed Julius Nember

"Let Gaza live"

Thousands of protesters marched in Washington, DC to mark 100 days since Israel began its attacks on Gaza, which have killed over 23,800 people.

A sea of Palestinian flags covered Freedom Plaza, and protesters placed plush toys in front of the White House to represent the almost 10,000 Palestinian children who have been killed in Gaza since Oct. 7.

Many protest signs condemned U.S. President Biden, who is accused of enabling Israel’s attacks by vetoing a UN resolution for a humanitarian ceasefire, calling for more U.S. aid for Israel and repeatedly bypassing Congress to approve weapons sales to Israel.

Israel is killing an average of 250 Palestinians in Gaza every day, reports Oxfam International — a daily death rate higher than any conflict this century.
