North Korea fired two short-range projectiles toward the east sea of the Korean Peninsula, as South Korea and the U.S. prepare for a military drill starting Monday.
The missiles were launched at around 6 p.m. Saturday and flew about 110 kilometers (62 miles) at an altitude of 25 km, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a text message Sunday. North Korean official Korean Central News Agency reported earlier that the regime “successfully tested” a new type of tactical guided weapon.
