SEOUL: North Korea on Saturday fired three short-range guided missiles from its east coast into the Sea of Japan, South Korea’s Ministry of Defense said.
“North Korea fired short-range guided missiles twice in the morning and once in the afternoon off its east coast,” an official at the South Korean Defence Ministry spokesman’s office said by telephone.
The official said he would not speculate on whether the missiles were fired as part of a drill or training exercise.
“In case of any provocation, the ministry will keep monitoring the situation and remain on alert,” he said.
