North Korea fires 3 short-range projectiles toward East Sea
(VOVWORLD) -North Korea fired three short-range projectiles into the East Sea on Monday for the second time in a week in what was believed to be part of a joint strike exercise, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.
The projectiles were fired northeastward from areas near the town of Sondok in South Hamgyong province, the JCS said, adding that they flew around 200 kilometers, reaching a maximum altitude of around 50 km. The launches came a week after the North conducted similar firings.
South Korean and US intelligence officials have been analyzing other data, the JCS said.
