Tension: South Korea: North Korea fires ballistic missiles again
The situation on the Korean Peninsula remains tense. North Korea has again fired rockets, according to information from South Korea and Japan. What could be behind the latest test?
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 test is the latest in a series of similar launches, including ones on September 20 and October 3. North Korea's actions are in contravention of UN Security Council resolutions.
