10 North Korea fired 10 artillery rounds from a multiple rocket launcher, Seoul’s military said Wednesday, as Pyongyang opened a key policy meeting of ruling party officials.
“Our military detected around 10 artillery shells fired into the north of the Yellow Sea from North Korea around 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday”, the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a text message to reporters.
“Under a robust South Korea-U.S. combined defense posture, the military is closely monitoring various North Korean movements and maintaining the capability and readiness to overwhelmingly respond to any provocation”, the JCS said.
Details of the launch are still being analyzed by South Korean and U.S. military intelligence, it added.
The volley coincided with the start of a plenary meeting of the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea, presided over by leader Kim Jong Un.
