North Korea test-launched two suspected ballistic missiles Monday in its fourth rocket volley this year, turning up pressure on the Biden administration with its biggest string of tests since August 2019.
South Korea’s military said North Korea fired what appeared to be two ballistic missiles into waters off its east coast at 8:50 and 8:54 a.m. that flew about 380 kilometers (240 miles), reaching an altitude of 42 km. Japan estimated the two suspected ballistic missiles flew about 300 km and landed in waters outside its exclusive economic zone. North Korea typically doesn’t comment on its launches until a day after the fact.
