SEOUL: North Korea on Tuesday fired several suspected cruise missiles towards the sea, the South’s military said.
It also comes a day before the South holds parliamentary elections, and at a time when the world’s attention has been largely focused on the coronavirus pandemic, which Pyongyang insists it has so far escaped. Tuesday’s missiles travelled over the Sea of Japan, also known as the East Sea, before coming down in the water, the JCS said.The North is subject to multiple UN Security Council sanctions over its banned weapons programmes.
Those missiles flew some 200km, which analysts said was an improvement on a 2015 test that flew only 100km.
