The missiles were fired “in the direction of the East Sea,” the South Korean military said, a sea area Tokyo calls the Sea of Japan.
North Korea today launched two more short-range ballistic missiles, South Korea’s General Staff announced.
The new weapons test adds to a series of similar ones in recent weeks.
The missiles were fired “in the direction of the East Sea,” the South Korean military said, a sea area Tokyo calls the Sea of Japan.
A few days earlier, South Korea and the US were proceeding with their largest joint military training exercises in five years.
Pyongyang considers these high schools rehearsals for an invasion of its territory. On Friday, he called the latest drills, dubbed Freedom Shield, training the South Korean and US military to impose an “occupation” on North Korea.
The North Korean military responded by staging drills of its own, notably testing what it described as a “nuclear attack submarine drone” and moving ahead with its second intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch sometime in 2023.
After a year of record weapons tests and escalating threats to use nuclear weapons by North Korea in 2022, Seoul and Washington have stepped up their security cooperation.
Last year North Korea declared that its nuclear power status was “irreversible”, while its leader Kim Jong Un recently announced an “exponential” increase in weapons production, including tactical nuclear weapons.
