Nuclear-armed North Korea on Monday fired what Japan said appeared to be ballistic missiles, a week after a similar weapons test by Pyongyang.
The devices were fired northeastwards into the sea from South Hamgyong province and flew 200 kilometres at a maximum altitude of 50 kilometres, the JCS said.A Japanese defence ministry spokesman said North Korea had launched what appeared to be"ballistic missile" -- which it is banned from doing under UN Security Council resolutions.
Three projectiles fired successfully from a single Transporter Erector Launcher would be"a new milestone" for the North's short-range ballistic missile programme, tweeted Ankit Panda, senior fellow at the Federation of American Scientists. Monday's firing came days after Kim sent a personal letter to the South's President Moon Jae-in, offering"comfort" for the rapid outbreak of the new coronavirus in the country.
