"North Korea test fired ballistic missiles on Wednesday, South Korea's military has said. Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missiles flew east, with the South Korean Yonhap news agency saying it was launched toward the East Sea (also known as the Sea of Japan) off North Korea's east coast, without specifying where they had landed. What else do we know about the latest missile launch from North Korea?"
"South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said multiple short-range ballistic missiles, which were launched from an area to the south of the North Korean capital Pyongyang, had been detected. The South Korean military said the missiles flew around 350 kilometers (218 miles) in a northeastern direction. A meeting of South Korea's national security council has been convened in the wake of the launch, the presidential office in Seoul said."
Multiple short-range ballistic missiles were launched from south of Pyongyang and flew roughly 350 kilometers northeast toward the East Sea. South Korea detected the launches and convened its national security council. Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said none reached Japanese territorial waters, no damage was reported, and Tokyo remained in close communication with Seoul and Washington. The tests occurred ahead of a planned visit by US President Donald Trump for the APEC summit. The launch was the first since May 8 and the first under President Lee Jae-myung, who campaigned on halting hostile moves and pursuing peaceful coexistence.
