Pyongyang fires ballistic missiles toward East Sea from Wonsan area

North Korea has launched multiple ballistic missiles toward the East Sea.

Several projectiles, presumed to be short-range ballistic missiles, were launched from the Wonsan area at 8:10 AM on Thursday, according to Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff.

This marks the first launches in around two months, and the second since the current U.S. Trump administration came into office.

The South Korean military is looking into specific details, and said it is maintaining a full readiness posture while closely sharing information with the U.S. and Japan.
