South Korea has condemned North Korea’s launch of MORE THAN 10 SHORT-RANGE BALLISTIC MISSILES, ordering its military to maintain full readiness amid ongoing joint exercises with the United States.
The missiles were launched from the PYONGYANG AREA and reportedly travelled around 300 KILOMETRES toward waters east of the Korean Peninsula.
Seoul immediately convened an EMERGENCY SECURITY MEETING to assess the threat and review its military response.

IS NORTH KOREA SENDING A WARNING TO SOUTH KOREA AND THE UNITED STATES — OR PREPARING FOR A BIGGER ESCALATION?
