North Korea on Thursday fired several ballistic missiles toward its eastern waters, South Korea’s military said, adding to a run of weapons tests that have raised animosity in the region.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the weapons fired from an area around the eastern port city of Wonsan were presumed to be short-range ballistic missiles. The South’s military didn’t immediately say how far they flew. The Joint Chiefs said the military has strengthened surveillance while sharing the launch information with the United States and Japan.
