North Korea launched multiple ballistic missiles toward the Sea of Japan on Saturday. According to South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff, the missiles were fired around 5:20 a.m. from the Wonsan area in the eastern province of Kangwon. They traveled about 250 kilometers before coming down in the sea.
The launches came a day after South Korea, the United States, and Japan ended their trilateral military exercise, which North Korea views as a security threat. South Korea's military boosted its surveillance posture and was closely exchanging information on the launches with the US and Japan.
The US Pacific Command said the North's launch event does not pose an immediate threat to US territory or to its allies. South Korea's military is closely monitoring North Korea's movements under a firm South Korea-US defense posture, and maintains the capabilities and readiness to respond to any provocations.
