According to the Yonhap news agency in South Korea, North Korea launched a salvo of approximately ten ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan in the early hours of Thursday. The news agency cited the nation’s Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The missile launches took place at approximately 06:14 local time on Thursday (21:14 GMT on Wednesday). The precise range and flight characteristics of the short-range ballistic missiles are currently unknown.
A solitary ballistic missile had been launched, according to previous reports. The persistent threat posed by Pyongyang’s missile program is underscored by this latest aggressive action by North Korea, which also heightens regional tensions.
The missile tests conducted by North Korea continue to be a source of international concern, eliciting responses from global powers and neighboring countries.
The United Nations Security Council resolutions are violated by the country’s ongoing development and testing of ballistic missile technology, which presents substantial security challenges in East Asia.
