North Korea fired three ballistic missiles into the East Sea today (31st), the Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff captured three short-range ballistic missiles launched by North Korea into the East Sea from the area of Junghwa County, North Hwanghae Province, from around 8:00 this morning.
North Korea's ballistic missile provocation comes eight days after it fired two short-range solid-propelled ballistic missiles in the Sunan area of Pyongyang on the 23rd.
North Korea resumed its ballistic missile provocations today, the day after South Korean military authorities announced that they had successfully conducted a test flight of a solid-propellant space launch vehicle yesterday.
The military is analyzing the ballistic missile's flight distance, altitude, and speed.
The military said it is maintaining a full readiness posture while closely cooperating with the US while strengthening surveillance and vigilance.
