North Korea launched two short-range ballistic missiles into the sea for the first time in two months on July 25, according to South Korean officials.
The missiles were fired from near the eastern coastal town of Wonsan, with one flying roughly 270 miles and the other 430 miles before splashing into the Sea of Japan off the coast of North Korea, according to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff. South Korea’s presidential Blue House described the weapons as “a new kind of short-range ballistic missiles.”
