'The Guardian' reports that Japan's emergency
broadcasting system warned the people of Hokkaido
to take cover because the missile was headed their way.
But the evacuation warning was lifted shortly after due to the system "erroneously" predicting that
the missile would reach the island.
According to Japan's coast guard, the missile fell into the sea east of North Korea.
The Biden administration said it
"strongly condemns" North Korea's actions.
The door has not closed on diplomacy, but Pyongyang must immediately cease its destabilizing actions and instead choose diplomatic engagement, Adrienne Watson, National Security Council spokesperson, via statement.
'The Guardian' reports that North Korea's missile test comes days after Kim Jong-un said that the country should strengthen its war capabilities in a "more practical and offensive manner" to combat U.S. "aggression.".

North Korea has fired an unidentified ballistic missile into the sea off South Korea's east coast, Seoul's military said on Monday, the latest in an apparent volley of tests by Pyongyang this year. "North Korea has fired an unidentified missile into the East Sea," South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said, referring to the body of water also known as the Sea of Japan.

South Korea's military reported that North Korea conducted a suspected intermediate-range ballistic missile test towards its eastern waters on Tuesday. This move underscores North Korea's continued efforts to enhance its weapons capable of reaching remote U.S. destinations in the Pacific. The missile, launched from a vicinity near Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, travelled approximately 600 kilometres (372 miles) before descending into the sea, positioned between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.

a nuclear war may be ignited even with

The North Korean provocations that
Kim Jong Un enjoys the most, and the
South Korean military is most nervous
about, are ballistic-missile and long-
range-multiple-rocket-launcher fire. , Kim Minseok, research fellow at the
Korea Defense and Security Forum, via 'Newsweek'.
However, North Korea used 122 mm,
130 mm, 155 mm, [and] 220 mm field
artillery and multiple rocket launchers
in this drill—no large 400-plus mm
multiple rocket launchers and
short-range ballistic missiles. , Kim Minseok, research fellow at the

FTC to Decide , Whether Noncompete Agreements , Should Be Banned.
After receiving over 26,000 public comments about the issue, the Federal Trade Commission is set to deliver its verdict on April 30, NPR reports. .
The commission said that if approved, the
final rule "would generally prevent most
employers from using noncompete clauses.".
The commission said that if approved, the
final rule "would generally prevent most
employers from using noncompete clauses.".
Approximately one in five Americans, spanning minimum wage workers to CEOs, are subject to noncompete agreements, the FTC estimates. .
The Biden administration says that these types of agreements hurt workers by decreasing wages.
The White House also argues that these
agreements harm the U.S. economy because entrepreneurship isn't allowed to freely flourish. .
FTC Chair Lina M. Khan issued a statement when
the proposed ban was initially introduced.
The freedom to change jobs is
core to economic liberty and to
a competitive, thriving economy, FTC Chair Lina M. Khan, via statement.
Noncompetes block workers from
freely switching jobs, depriving
them of higher wages and better
working conditions, and depriving
businesses of a talent pool that
they need to build and expand, FTC Chair Lina M. Khan, via statement.
Businesses argue that noncompete agreements are essential for safeguarding investments and proprietary information.
Those businesses also question whether
the agency has the power "to regulate
such agreements," NPR reports. .
If the FTC votes to issue a final rule, enforcement wouldn't occur for 180 days,
and legal challenges would likely ensue.
