North Korea has launched three ballistic missiles off its east coast on Wednesday local time, according to South Korea’s military, marking the first weapons fire in about two weeks and the 17th round this year.
According to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, the three ballistic missiles were launched in the space of less than an hour between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. from the Sunan area of Pyongyang, the North Korean capital.
Japan’s coast guard also reported at least two launches. Japanese broadcaster NHK said the missiles appeared to have fallen outside Japan’s exclusive economic zone….
