The South Korean military said today, Tuesday, that North Korea launched a ballistic missile off its eastern coast.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Tokyo was aware of the launches, and was collecting information. There were no reports of damage from the firing, he added.
South Korea's military said the missiles had been fired between 7:41 a.m. and 7:51 a.m. from the country's west coast, flying about 620 kilometers (385 miles).
The launch comes two days after North Korea test-fired two strategic cruise missiles from a submarine, and at a time when the United States and South Korea are conducting major military exercises to counter growing threats from the North.
