According to South Korea’s defense ministry. The North Koreans have fired four short-range missiles into the sea in an apparent show of force to coincide with the South’s joint military exercises with the US.
A ministry spokesman said the missiles, with an estimated range of 200km (125 miles), were fired off the east coast of North Korea.
“Our military will maintain tight vigilance in preparation for additional launches or any military provocation from the North,” the spokesman said.
