North Korea has fired multiple short-range ballistic missiles towards waters off its eastern coast, prompting South Korea to increase surveillance and coordination with regional allies.
Al Jazeera reports that South Korea’s military detected the launches from the Sunan area near Pyongyang. Seoul said it was closely tracking further activity and sharing information with the United States and Japan.
The launches add to continuing tensions on the Korean Peninsula and come as governments in the region monitor North Korea’s expanding missile programme and military cooperation.
