(VOVworld) – The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has test-fired five short-range missiles into the sea off its east coast, a spokesman for South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said, according to the Yonhap News Agency on Sunday. The North fired the missiles into the Sea of Japan from the eastern city of Wonsan between 4:20 pm and 5:10 pm local time on Sunday. The missiles flew approximately 200 km before landing in waters off the country’s east coast. "We are closely watching for any signs of additional missile launches by the North," said the spokesman. On Saturday the North said it had test-fired an "ultra-precision," anti-ship rocket, which will be deployed across its navy "before long".
