South Korean navy says North Korea fired 4 missiles into sea
South Korea’s navy says North Korea has fired 4 short-range ballistic missiles into the ocean, including to its barrage of weapons demonstrations this week that has raised tensions within the area.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff stated Saturday that the missiles flew round 130 km towards the North’s western sea. North Korea this week launched dozens of missiles into the ocean, together with an intercontinental ballistic missile that triggered evacuation warnings in northern Japan, and flew warplanes inside its territory.
North Korea has described its navy actions as an applicable response to a mixed US-South Korea aerial drills, which it known as a show of US “military confrontation hysteria.”
The United States flew two B-1B supersonic bombers on Saturday over South Korea on the ultimate days of the joint drills, in a present of drive meant to intimidate North Korea over its intensifying testing exercise.
