Seoul. The tension between North Korea and South Korea continues. North Korea fired two ballistic missiles towards the north-east. Let us tell you that this action has been taken in response to the joint military exercises of America, South Korea, and Japan. North Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff has given information about the missile launch.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missiles were launched from the southeastern North Korean city of Jangyon in a 10-minute burst northeast. It said the first missile flew 600 kilometers (370 miles) and the second 120 kilometers (75 miles), but did not say where they fell.

 

When and how did the missile test take place?

North Korea usually launches missiles towards its eastern waters, but the flight of the second missile was too low to reach the water areas. The first missile was fired towards the north-east at around 5:05 am. The second missile was launched at 5:15 am. Reports said the first missile fell into the waters off the North's eastern city of Chongjin.

North Korea's Foreign Ministry replied

Let us tell you that earlier on Sunday, North Korea's Foreign Ministry had condemned the military exercises of South Korea, America and Japan. He said that the country would take aggressive and heavy retaliation against this. Earlier on Wednesday, North Korea had fired ballistic missiles towards the East Sea.

Where did the first missile fall?

Meanwhile, a South Korean military source said that it is highly likely that the second missile crashed inland in the North. The possible damage on the ground in the North was not immediately reported. South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff also recently said that South Korea, with its military alliance with the United States, maintains a firm readiness to thwart any provocation by North Korea.
