Two unidentified projectiles were fired at 4:59 p.m. local time from North Korea’s east coast into waters between it and Japan, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said, adding that it was monitoring for more possible launches. The Joint Chiefs hasn’t yet provided information on how far the projectiles flew.
Japan’s Defense Ministry said that what appeared to be at least one North Korean ballistic missile landed outside of its territorial waters.
