\nNorth Korea fired several rounds of short-range ballistic missiles toward the East Sea (Sea of Japan) on Monday, Seoul’s military stated.<\/p>\n
Yonhap News Agency reported that the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said it detected what appeared to be several short-range ballistic missiles launched from the Pyongyang region at 3:01 p.m. It did not provide further details, citing an ongoing analysis.<\/p>\n
