North Korea has fired multiple unidentified projectiles, South Korea says. Seoul says its military is on alert for further launches.
"North Korea launched multiple projectiles in the early morning from around Hodo Peninsula in South Hamgyong Province," the JCS said, adding that it was on the alert for further launches."Our military is tracking and watching the related movement in preparation to additional launches, and is maintaining readiness posture."A US official confirmed to CNN that two projectiles had been fired by North Korea.
It's North Korea's third launch in as many months: In May, a short-range missile launch appeared to signal North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's frustration at deadlocked talks with the United States. And just five days ago, North Korea sent two new short-range ballistic missiles toward the East Sea, also known as the Sea of Japan.
