The Joint Chiefs of Staff says North Korea has fired three unknown projectiles into the East Sea this morning.

The launch site is located in Seondeok, South Hamgyong province, and has captured three unknown projectiles fired off the northeastern east coast.

Military authorities are analyzing the project's specifications, for example.

Japanese media say the launch time is around 7:30.

The second time North Korea has fired a projectile, it's been a week since the last two days.

North Korea fired two projectiles, estimated to be short-range missiles, on the East Coast near 12:37 during the day.

North Korea announced the following day the long-range artillery unit fired a gun.

At that time, the Blue House held a meeting of the Minister of Emergency Affairs, headed by the head of the National Security Agency, and expressed regret and urged the suspension.

Last night, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's sister, Kim Yeo-jeong, Labor Party's first vice president, claimed to be self-defense.

At present, our military is prepared to track and monitor relevant trends in preparation for further launches by North Korea.
