1. North Korea Fires Multiple Ballistic Missiles After Seoul Test
-- North Korea fired multiple ballistic missiles toward the sea after South Korea tested a hypersonic weapon, Seoul's military said, according to Yonhap.
-- South Korean defense planners must assess another launch as they develop their own strike capability; Seoul described Pyongyang's action as a show of force.

2. Bank of Korea Raises Growth Forecasts, Keeps Further Rate Hikes Open
-- The Bank of Korea raised its growth forecasts to 3.3% for 2026 and 2.9% for 2027, citing semiconductor exports, and said further rate decisions would depend on inflation and financial stability, Yonhap reported.
