"North Korea has launched multiple ballistic missiles towards the sea off its eastern coast, marking its seventh ballistic missile launch this year and its fourth in April."
"The missiles were fired near the city of Sinpo on North Korea's east coast at about 6:10am on Sunday, prompting South Korea to bolster its surveillance posture."
"Such tests violate United Nations Security Council resolutions against North Korea's missile programme, which the country rejects as an infringement on its sovereign right to self-defence."
"North Korean leader Kim Jong Un stated that his country's status as a nuclear-armed state was irreversible and that expanding a self-defensive nuclear deterrent was essential to national security."
North Korea fired multiple ballistic missiles from the Sinpo area, marking its seventh launch of the year and fourth in April. The missiles landed near the eastern coast of the Korean Peninsula. South Korea increased its surveillance and coordinated with the US and Japan. The launches violate UN Security Council resolutions, which North Korea rejects as an infringement on its self-defense rights. The situation coincides with upcoming US-China discussions on North Korea, amid concerns over North Korea's nuclear capabilities and advancements in uranium enrichment.
