On Saturday, North Korea launched multiple short-range ballistic missiles towards the East Sea, according to the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS). This occurred just a day after a trilateral military exercise involving South Korea, the United States, and Japan concluded. The JCS detected the launches from the Wonsan area around 5:20 a.m. and is currently assessing the specific details of the missiles in collaboration with the U.S. The missiles reportedly traveled approximately 250 kilometers before landing in the sea.
South Korean and U.S. intelligence agencies have been monitoring and sharing information about North Korea's activities from the beginning, and this information was also communicated to Japan, stated the JCS.
The JCS emphasized that South Korea's military is maintaining a strong defensive stance, closely monitoring North Korea's actions while ensuring readiness to respond effectively to any provocations. Sources suggest that North Korea may have used its Hwasong-11 series of ballistic missiles, as well as 600-millimeter multiple rocket launchers, in a series of consecutive launches over several instances.
