The country fired ballistic missiles for the fourth time in a week.North Korea fired a short-range ballistic missile on Sunday, Seoul's military said, the fourth show of force in a week as South Korea and the United States stage major military drills.
North Korea views all such exercises as rehearsals for invasion and has repeatedly warned it would take"overwhelming" action in response."Our military detected one short-range ballistic missile fired from around the Tongchang-ri area in North Pyongan province at 11:05am toward the East Sea," South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said, referring to the body of water also known as the Sea of Japan.
Analysts previously said North Korea would likely use the drills as an excuse to carry out more missile launches and perhaps even a nuclear test. The recent flurry of aggression by Pyongyang has pushed Seoul and Tokyo to mend fences over historical disputes and try to boost security cooperation.
