North Korea fired two ballistic missiles into the sea off its east coast on Monday, according to South Korea's military. The launch appears to be a reaction to a US nuclear-powered submarine's recent arrival at a South Korean military base.
The reports were corroborated by Japan's defence ministry, which also detected a launch of what it said could be a ballistic missile by North Korea. Japanese media reports citing a government source claimed that the nation may have launched multiple missiles.
