North Korea on Thursday morning launched what appeared to be two ballistic missiles off its east coast, the militaries of South Korea and Japan said, marking the nuclear-armed regime’s sixth round of weapons launches this month.
Two likely ballistic missiles were launched at about 8 a.m. local time from near Hamhung, North Korea’s second largest city on its east coast, and travelled for about 190 kilometers (118 miles) to a maximum altitude of 20 kilometers (12 miles), South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.
