Korea Conflict: South Korea: North Korea fires ballistic missiles again

North Korea has fired multiple ballistic missiles, according to South Korea and Japan. The missiles were launched from the area around Pyongyang and flew approximately 900 kilometers towards the Sea of Japan, also known as the East Sea. The missiles landed outside of Japan's exclusive economic zone, and no further details on the type of missiles were immediately available. This latest test is part of a series of similar launches, including ones on October 3 and September 20.
