North Korea launched at least 10 missiles Wednesday, Seoul said, with one of the projectiles falling near South Korean waters for the first time since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War, and triggering a response from the South’s air force.
Three of the missiles were launched from Wonsan, a port on North Korea’s east coast, toward the sea between Japan and South Korea around 8:51 a.m. local time, the South’s Defense Ministry said. It added that one of them landed near
South Korean waters, about 35 miles from Sokcho, a seaside city famous for its seafood and home to 80,000 people. On the nearby South Korean island of Ulleung, 104 miles from where the North Korean missile landed, air raid sirens blared, according to the South’s Defense Ministry. No one was hurt after the island’s 9,000 residents were told to seek shelter, a spokesman for the island’s local government said.South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol said he had ordered the military to ensure that North Korea “pays a clear price for its provocation,” according to his office.
About 1:27 p.m., North Korea fired around 100 artillery shells into the waters near the maritime border separating the Koreas, Seoul said. In response, Seoul demanded Pyongyang cease fire, South Korea’s military said.The Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty, meaning the two Koreas are still technically at war.
