North Korea fired multiple rocket launchers on Sunday, Seoul said, the latest in a series of provocations by the nuclear-armed nation to heighten tensions in the region.
Pyongyang launched a string of banned weaponry this year and tested what it claimed were components of a"reconnaissance satellite" - although Seoul and Washington have described them as a new ICBM system.There were shots suspected to be from North Korea's multiple rocket launchers this morning. Our military is maintaining our defence readiness while closely following related developments.
Sunday's firings come just days after Pyongyang carried out a suspected failed ballistic missile test, in what analysts say could be the country's new intercontinental ballistic missile. The US and South Korea have said North Korea is preparing to fire an ICBM at full range for the first time since 2017, possibly disguised as a space launch.
