North Korea fired multiple short-range ballistic missiles towards the East Sea on Saturday. According to South Korea's military, the missiles were launched from the Wonsan area at around 5:20 a.m. and flew approximately 250 kilometers before landing in the sea.
The launches occurred just a day after South Korea, the United States, and Japan concluded their trilateral military exercise, known as Freedom Edge, near the Korean Peninsula. North Korea had previously condemned the joint exercises as a threat to its security.

The incident has also prompted South Korea to urge North Korea to immediately halt ballistic missile launches, citing serious violations of UN Security Council resolutions.
