North Korean missile lands close to South Korean waters

North Korea fired at least 10 missiles of various types one of which had landed close to South Korean waters for the first time.

South Korea’s military on Wednesday said that North Korean missiles have, for the first time, landed close to South Korean waters.

Denouncing North Korea’s latest missile launch as being the first into an area close to the South’s territorial waters since the division of the peninsula more than seven decades ago, South Korea’s military called it an intolerable act.

As per Seoul’s military, North Korea fired at least 10 missiles of various types one of which had landed close to South Korean waters for the first time.

Earlier in the day, the North launched at least three short-range ballistic missiles or the SRBMs into the East Sea, one of which flew across its de facto maritime border with South Korea.

The launches came just hours after Pyongyang demanded that the United States and South Korea stop large-scale military exercises, saying such military rashness and provocation can be no longer tolerated.

Tensions are escalating in the Korean peninsula as Kim-led North Korea launched several missile tests, including one that flew over neighboring Japan this month. The United States and its allies have responded with bombing drills.
