While the US Air Force F-35A fighter was deployed to South Korea for the first time in 4 years and 7 months, North Korea fired multiple rocket launchers today (10th) and held a 'low-intensity' armed protest.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff announced today that it detected tracks believed to be North Korean multiple rocket launchers from 6:21 to 37 pm this evening.

"Our military is maintaining a thorough readiness posture while closely cooperating with South Korea and the United States while strengthening surveillance and vigilance," the Joint Chiefs of Staff said.

It is known that two tracks were detected by the military authorities.

Earlier, on Sunday, the 12th of last month, North Korea also fired about five multiple rocket launchers into the West Sea.

At that time, the launch model was estimated to have a caliber of less than 300 mm and a 240 mm without guidance function.

Normally, the Joint Chiefs of Staff did not publicly announce the launch of multiple rocket launchers, but it has been announcing it recently.

Currently, six F-35A stealth fighter jets of the US Air Force are temporarily deployed in Gunsan, Jeollabuk-do for joint South Korea-US training.
