[Herald Economy — Reporter Yoon-ho] South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said at about 1 p.m. on the 26th that it detected multiple projectiles, including short-range ballistic missiles, launched from the Jeongju area of North Pyongan Province toward the Yellow Sea.
The JCS said the missiles traveled roughly 80 km (about 50 miles), and South Korean and U.S. analysts are conducting a detailed assessment of their exact specifications.
Seoul’s military has bolstered surveillance and alert measures in case of additional launches. South Korea, the United States and Japan are closely sharing missile-related intelligence and maintaining heightened readiness.
Earlier, on the 19th of last month, North Korea fired several short-range ballistic missiles from the Sinpo area of South Hamgyong Province into the East Sea that Pyongyang said were equipped with cluster warheads. Today’s launch was the first in 37 days and the eighth so far this year.
