North Korea fired multiple short-range ballistic missiles toward the East Sea on Saturday, South Korea’s military said, a day after South Korea, the United States and Japan ended their trilateral Freedom Edge exercise. The Joint Chiefs of Staff said it detected the launches from the Wonsan area at around 5:20 a.m. The missiles flew about 250 kilometers before landing in the sea, and South Korea and the U.S. are analyzing their exact specifications. The military said it was maintaining full alert while sharing information with the U.S. and Japan.
