North Korea fired at least three suspected ballistic missiles Monday morning toward the East Sea (Sea of Japan), according to South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) and Japan’s defense ministry, the North’s first such launches in over two months.
The JCS said North Korea launched “multiple” short-range ballistic missiles (SRBM) “some 300 km (186 miles)” between 7:44 and 8:22 a.m. from an unspecified location in Sangwon, North Hwanghae Province, just to the southeast of Pyongyang.
