- Category:Other
North Korea launched several short-range ballistic missiles toward the Sea of Japan on Wednesday morning, according to the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Fired from the Wonsan area in the eastern North Korean province of Kangwon, the missiles are believed to have flown around 240 kilometers.
The latest missile firing came after North Korea launched a projectile suspected to be a ballistic missile from the Pyongyang area only on Tuesday.
Speaking at a press conference in Tokyo on Wednesday, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara said that no missiles have been confirmed to have entered Japan's exclusive economic zone. There have been no reports of damage to property and people, he added.
"North Korea's recent string of actions threaten the peace and security of our country, the region and the international community," the top Japanese government spokesman said, adding that Japan will work closely with the U.S. and South Korean governments to gather information and engage in warning and surveillance activities.
