On Sunday, South Korea said two short-range missiles had been fired, the latest in a flurry of tests this month.
"In a situation where the entire world is experiencing difficulties due to Covid-19, this kind of military act by North Korea is very inappropriate and we call for an immediate halt," South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
The North has reported no virus cases - but experts have cast doubt on this.
If you're just joining us, here are some of the biggest developments from the UK, which is currently on a nation-wide lockdown to help contain the disease:
Scott Morrison says Australia will commit A$130bn (£63bn; $79bn) over the six months to support the "livelihoods of what we anticipate of being almost six million Australians" - about a quarter of the population.
It will include a A$1,500 per fortnight "job keeper payment".
"We will pay employers to pay their employees, and to make sure they do," he says.
"We are all in this together."
After our earlier update from India, here's the latest from the rest of the region:

The president of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, has announced a lockdown in the cities of Lagos and Abuja in an effort to contain the spread of Covid-19.
The restrictions, which will start from 11pm local time (22:00 GMT) on Monday, will also apply to Ogun state, which borders Lagos.
The lockdown will take effect for an initial period of 14 days.
Mr Buhari said everybody would have to stay at home, all businesses and offices would have to close, and only food shops, hospitals and other essential service providers would remain open.

As we reported earlier, thousands of Australians returning from overseas have just checked into hotels for a mandatory 14 days of self-isolation.
With the government footing the bill, a stay in a five-star hotel in Sydney or Melbourne doesn't sound too bad on the face of it. Those in isolation get three room service meals a day and linen dropped off at their door.
But as part of the quarantine, people can't step outside their rooms - police and military officers guard the exits. Sealed windows and a lack of a kitchen and laundry in many of the rooms also don't help.
"Fresh air is everybody’s right, you get that even in prison,", external one traveller, Sakib Awan, told The Sydney Morning Herald.
China has reported a drop in new virus cases for a fourth day in a row.
There were 31 new cases reported on Monday - of which 30 were imported.
This is down from 45 the previous day, said the National Health Commission.
There were also four deaths recorded, bringing the death toll to 3,304.
The Detroit Auto Show, scheduled to take place in June, has been cancelled.
Organisers said the show’s normal conference venue, the TCF Center, is being used as a field hospital for at least six months to deal with coronavirus patients.
The car show normally draws 800,000 visitors, and is one of a number of auto events to be cancelled this year, among them the 2020 Geneva Motor Show.

In the rising heat, Goutam Lal Meena had walked some 300km (186 miles) on tarmac in his sandals in the rising heat. He said he had survived on water and biscuits.
In Gujarat state, Mr Meena earned up to 400 rupees ($5.34; £4.29) a day and sent most of his earnings home. Work and wages dried up after India declared a 21-day lockdown with four hours' notice on the midnight of 24 March to prevent the spread of coronavirus. (India has reported more than 1,000 Covid-19 cases and 27 deaths so far.)
The shutting down of all transport meant that he was forced to travel on foot. "I walked through the day and I walked through the night. What option did I have? I had little money and almost no food," Mr Meena told me, his voice raspy and strained. He was not alone.
All over India, millions of migrant workers are fleeing its shuttered cities and trekking home to their villages. These informal workers are the backbone of the big city economy - but the lockdown has turned them into refugees overnight, spurring fears of a devastating humanitarian crisis.

Some of the biggest singers and musicians in the world have just finished a fundraising concert in the US - where everyone from Billie Eilish to Mariah Carey live-streamed their performances from home.
The Living Room Concert for America - hosted by Elton John in his kitchen - was streamed across hundreds of radio stations and on the US Fox network. Viewers were urged to donate funds to charity.
"There's doctors, nurses and scientists on the frontlines. They're living proof that most superheroes don't wear capes," said Sir Elton.
"We hope this bit of entertainment can feed and fuel your souls."
There were sets from Lizzo, Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga and Sam Smith among others. Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes performed a sultry duet on their chaise, while in the Backstreet Boys' routine, we saw synchronised dance moves and harmonies across a five-way split screen. Fun!
But it was a doctor in scrubs from Minnesota who stole the show. See for yourself below.

Image source, Nile ZahranThe British embassy in Indonesia is calling for Britons stuck in Bali to apply for a seat on a flight to London, via Frankfurt, departing tomorrow afternoon.
The flight is “likely the cheapest flight for a long time,” the embassy tweeted, external.
Among the stranded Brits in Bali is Nile Zahran of London. Nile and his partner spent about £1,000 to get out of Bali on a pair of Thai Airways tickets that would have seen them going via Bangkok to London. But the Bali-Bangkok leg of that flight was cancelled.
Mr Zahran and his partner left the UK on 7 March in a two-week package deal offered by a tour operator. They were scheduled to leave Indonesia on 22 March, but that flight was cancelled and they haven’t received any refund yet.
Mr Zahran said it was extremely hard to get flights out of Indonesia, a country gripped by its own coronavirus crisis, at the moment.
He’s been in contact with British embassy in Jakarta and now he’s asking the UK government to quickly repatriate them - or, as he puts it, he is "waiting for the cavalry".
“We want to get home. But we are relying on the government and we are starting to feel a bit abandoned,” he said.
“The ambassador in Jakarta said that they prioritise this, to get British people in Bali home, but we’re not seeing it. I know it’s going to take time and we’re patient. Every day that goes by…. we’re not seeing progress.”

Alan Merrill, the co-writer and singer of the much-loved - and much-covered - I Love Rock 'n Roll song, has died aged 69 from Covid-19 in New York.
His daughter, Laura Merrill, shared the news on social media, external on Sunday, writing:
"The Coronavirus took my father this morning. I was given 2 minutes to say my goodbyes before I was rushed out. He seemed peaceful and as I left was still a glimmer of hope that he wouldn’t be a ticker on the right hand side of the CNN/Fox news screen."
Ms Merrill said she had been texting him earlier in the day, and that he had "played down the 'cold' he thought he had".
Merrill was born in New York and spent time in Japan and the UK during his career, which included forming the band the Arrows in London in 1974.
They released singles including Touch Too Much, My Last Night With You and I Love Rock 'n Roll.
He was lead vocalist on the original song, but it was later recorded and released by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts - reaching number one in the US in 1982. The song was more recently covered by Britney Spears.

He was the face of weekend TV in my household when I was growing up in Japan during the 1970 and 80s. Saturday night, 8pm, was the highlight of our family entertainment.
After dinner and finishing the dishes, I remember the whole family tuning in for the comedy programme almost without fail.
It was an hour of proper non-stop belly laughter at the slapstick acts performed live on stage by Ken Shimura and his Drifters gang. These were the innocent days of television - before special effects and slick production.
Ken and his gang used to come on stage in silly makeup and silly costumes. And that was enough to make us all laugh.
And 35 years after his last appearance on It’s 8 O’clock, Come Everyone, he was still a familiar face on TV. I watched his new comedy series only last week.
The news of his death is such a shock to all of us who remember watching him at the height of Japan’s bubble economy.
If there were any Japanese who had not been taking the virus seriously, they would surely hear of their beloved comedian’s death - and realise it could kill anyone.
The Japanese capital confirmed 68 new coronavirus cases on Sunday - its biggest daily increase, public broadcaster NHK reported.
So far the country has witnessed fewer cases than many European countries and the US - but officials are worried about rising new cases with no known source of infection.
Overall, more than 1,800 people in Japan have been infected and 55 people with it have died.
This is excluding the just over 700 cases and 10 deaths from a cruise ship that was moored near Tokyo last month, NHK said.
In total, 33,984 people with the virus have died. Here are the ten countries with the highest death tolls:
Italy 10,779
Spain 6,803
China 3,308
Iran 2,640
France 2,611
US 2,493
UK 1,231
Netherlands 772
Germany 541
Belgium 431

Around 1,800 people remain stranded on the virus-hit Zaandam cruise ship in the Panama Canal, which has reported four deaths on board.
The cruise had planned to go from Buenos Aires, Argentina to San Antonio in Chile. However a week into the voyage, on 14 March, the ship reported dozens on board were suffering flu-like symptoms.
Since then, ports all across South America have refused to let the ship dock and disembark. However, healthy passengers were transported to a sister ship, the Rotterdam, on Saturday.
The ship has finally been allowed to cross into the Caribbean Sea - but where it will will end up remains unknown, after its intended destination, the US city of Fort Lauderdale, also refused entry.
Passengers - many British and Americans among them - have pleaded for help. "Four people are now dead, and that is on the head of all the people along the way who turned us away," Laura Gabaroni told AFP.
The BBC recently spoke to a British couple on the ship.
Worldwide there have been 722,289 confirmed cases of the virus, and at least 151,901 have officially recovered. Here are the ten countries hit worst:
US 142,106 confirmed infections (4,767 recovered)
Italy 97,689 (13,030 recovered)
China 82,122 (75,583 recovered)
Spain 80,110 (14,709 recovered)
Germany 62,095 (9,211 recovered)
France 40,723 (7,226 recovered)
Iran 38,309 (12,391 recovered)
UK 19,784 (151 recovered)
Switzerland 14,829 (1,595 recovered)
Netherlands 10,930 (253 recovered)

Image source, James Tye/UCLA breathing aid that can help keep coronavirus patients out of intensive care has been created in under a week by the University College of London and the Mercedes Formula One team.
"Normally medical device development would take years but we've done that in days because we went back to a simple existing device and 'reverse engineered' it in order to be able to produce them quickly and at scale," Professor Rebecca Shipley of UCL told the BBC.
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) devices are less invasive than a ventilator but are in short supply. They basically push a steady flow of air and oxygen into the mouth and nose of patients.
Forty of the new devices have been delivered to several London hospitals. If trials go well, up to 1,000 can be produced per day by the F1 team, beginning in a week's time.
