The missiles were fired toward the Sea of Japan and its launch was announced by the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), which is now analyzing the specifics, Yonhap said, without providing any further details.
In a later update, Yonhap said citing an informed South Korean source that North Korea appears to have fired multiple ballistic missiles from at least two locations on Sunday.
The Japanese coast guard warned of a possible North Korean missile launch on Sunday morning, advising ships to exercise caution. Japanese media reported that the missile likely fell outside of Japan’s exclusive economic zone.
The Sunday launch is Pyongyang's 18th missile test since the start of this year.
