North Korea fired a short-range ballistic missile into the sea and hundreds of artillery rounds near the border with the South on Friday, South Korea's military said, the latest military activity by the nuclear-armed country amid heightened tensions.
South Korea also scrambled fighter jets when a group of about 10 North Korean military aircraft flew close to their heavily fortified border, and North Korea fired some 560 rounds of artillery into "sea buffer zones" on multiple occasions, the South's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.
