North Korea launches 4 short-range ballistic missiles toward sea: South Korean military

SEOUL (AFP): North Korea fired four short-range ballistic missiles toward the sea, Seoul’s military said Saturday, the latest in a blitz of missile launches this week by Pyongyang.

The South Korean military detected the launches “from Tongrim, North Pyongan Province, to the West Sea at around 11:32 a.m. to 11:59 a.m. today,” the country’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement, using another name for the Yellow Sea.
