North Korea fired three short-range ballistic missiles toward the Sea of Japan, authorities with the South Korean military confirmed early Saturday.Preliminary findings indicate that the three missiles had been fired from Chunghwa County, in the North Hwanghae Province. Earlier, Japanese media reported that the missiles had fallen outside of Japan's exclusive economic zone.South Korean military officials have stated the missiles flew about 350 kilometers before splashing down, adding that they had been detected at about 8 a.m. local time when they were roughly 60 kilometers south of Pyongyang.The Saturday launch came hours after South Korea successfully conducted a test flight of a solid-propellant space launch vehicle, of which is part of a larger effort to strengthen Seoul's space-based surveillance capabilities.Additionally, the South Korean military more recently indicated the latest slate of military drills it has conducted were in direct response to five drones that had violated Seoul's airspace, and were said to have belonged to North Korea. Reports noted four of the drones had flown near the Ganghwado Island while another traversed the airspace along Seoul's metropolitan area.North Korea last carried out a missile test on December 23, which turned out to be two short-range ballistic missiles. In November, one of North Korea's missile launches saw a long-range projectile fly so close to Japan that it triggered the island nation's emergency broadcast system.The Saturday launch adds to a long list of test flights carried out by Pyongyang, which recorded its highest tally than any previous year after logging in over 70 ballistic and cruise missiles in 2022.

North Korea fired three short-range ballistic missiles toward the Sea of Japan, authorities with the South Korean military confirmed early Saturday.
Preliminary findings indicate that the three missiles had been fired from Chunghwa County, in the North Hwanghae Province. Earlier, Japanese media reported that the missiles had fallen outside of Japan's exclusive economic zone.
