North Korea Fires Multiple Ballistic Missiles From Pyongyang Area Toward East Sea
Read this in the Market Flux appNorth Korea launched multiple ballistic missiles toward the East Sea on Monday, with South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff detecting the launches from the Pyongyang area at approximately 9:20 a.m. local time. The missiles traveled more than 900 kilometers, with at least one landing beyond Japan's exclusive economic zone, prompting the Japan Coast Guard to issue a fresh warning.
South Korea's military said the launches appear designed to demonstrate North Korea's missile capabilities in response to Seoul's recent hypersonic missile test-fire. The launches follow a similar North Korean launch on October 3, which state media reported was an intermediate-range strategic missile overseen by leader Kim Jong-un.
South Korea's presidential National Security Office convened an emergency meeting and demanded North Korea immediately cease its ballistic missile tests, calling them a severe breach of UN Security Council resolutions. Seoul's military has stepped up surveillance against the possibility of further launches.
