North Korea launched several ballistic missiles into the East Sea early on September 12.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff reported that at approximately 5:20 a.m., they detected multiple ballistic missiles fired from the Wonsan area.
They added, "Our military has strengthened monitoring and vigilance in preparation for additional launches, while the U.S., South Korea, and Japan are closely sharing information related to North Korea's ballistic missiles and maintaining a state of readiness."
This marks North Korea's first ballistic missile launch in 23 days. Previously, on August 20, North Korea fired about ten short-range ballistic missiles, presumed to be 600mm super-large multiple rocket launchers (KN-25), into the East Sea from the Pyongyang area.
