Pyongyang launched two short-range ballistic missiles towards its eastern waters on Thursday, according to South Korean and Japanese military officials. The rockets reportedly failed to reach land and fell into the sea in Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said that it detected the launches on Thursday evening, noting that the South Korean military has since boosted its surveillance posture and maintains readiness in close coordination with the US.
Japan’s Defense Ministry also confirmed the launch, adding that the country’s Coast Guard had alerted vessels in the waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan and the North Pacific seas to avoid falling objects.
