South Korea's military reported on Saturday that North Korea launched multiple short-range ballistic missiles towards the East Sea. This came a day after a trilateral military exercise involving South Korea, the United States, and Japan concluded. The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) noted the missile launch from the Wonsan area around 5:20 a.m. and stated that they are currently assessing the specifics of the missiles in collaboration with the U.S. military. The projectiles reportedly traveled approximately 250 kilometers before landing in the sea.
South Korean and U.S. intelligence agencies have been monitoring and sharing North Korea's activities from the outset, and they have also exchanged pertinent information with Japan, according to the JCS. The military emphasized that they are maintaining a strong South Korea-U.S. defense posture and have the ability to respond robustly to any provocations from North Korea.
Sources mentioned that North Korea has fired Hwasong-11 series ballistic missiles and 600-millimeter multiple rocket launcher rounds in a series of incidents.
