North Korea has launched several ballistic missiles, presumably
short-range, into the Sea of Japan, Azernews
reports.
According to reports, the missiles were fired from the vicinity
of Wonsan, a city located on the southeastern coast of the
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK).
The previous missile launch occurred on March 10, when Pyongyang
fired multiple ballistic missiles toward the Yellow Sea. That
launch coincided with the start of the large-scale Freedom Shield
joint military exercises conducted by the United States and South
Korea.
This latest provocation comes amid rising tensions on the Korean
Peninsula. Analysts note that Wonsan, aside from being a frequent
missile launch site, is also home to one of Kim Jong-un’s private
resorts, underscoring how tightly controlled and symbolic these
launches can be.
