North Korea launched several short-range ballistic missiles from the southern part of Pyongyang around 08:10 local time. The missiles traveled approximately 350 kilometers, flying towards the country's eastern coast.
The editorial office reports that this is North Korea's first missile test in the last five months and comes just a few days before US President Donald Trump's visit to South Korea within the framework of the APEC summit.
According to observers, the missile test carries both a political and military message, and Pyongyang is trying to strengthen its position ahead of the summit by increasing tensions in the region. The US and South Korea announced that they are closely monitoring the incident and evaluating the situation.
