North Korea fires multiple ballistic missiles into the sea
NORTH Korea test-fired ballistic missiles towards its eastern seas today, according to the South Korean and Japanese militaries.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff reported detecting the firing of multiple short-range ballistic missiles from north of the North Korean capital Pyongyang, adding they had travelled about 244 miles towards the north-east.
Seoul’s military high command said it was closely communicating with the United States and Japan while analysing the launches, but it did not immediately provide further flight details.
