North Korea fired three ballistic missiles towards the eastern waters on Saturday morning, South Korea’s military said. It comes five days after Pyongyang flew five drones into the South’s airspace, stoking further tensions in the peninsula.
The missile landed in the Sea of Japan, the South Korean military said, but did not give further details as to what type of missile was fired, reports AFP news agency.
The latest missile launch comes after eight days as the military tensions between the two countries rose sharply this year.
