North Korea appears to have fired two cruise missiles Tuesday morning toward waters off its east coast, according to a South Korean military official, ramping up a barrage of tests this month that have rattled regional security.
South Korea was closely monitoring the situation, the official said, without offering further details. The launch comes as North Korea this month conducted its biggest series of ballistic missile launches since August 2019 and warned the US it might end its almost five-year halt on tests of nuclear devices and long-range missiles to deliver them.
