Why has North Korea fired a barrage of ballistic missiles?
Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleNorth Korea launched around 10 short-range ballistic missiles towards the waters off its eastern coast on Thursday, according to South Korea's military and Japanese defence officials. The missile launches prompted South Korea's presidential National Security Council to convene an emergency meeting, during which it urged Pyongyang to cease tests that violate UN Security Council resolutions. The provocations occurred just one day after Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, dismissed US President Donald Trump's decision to shorten joint military exercises with South Korea, labelling the drills inherently aggressive regardless of scale. Japanese maritime authorities issued alerts advising nearby vessels to remain vigilant for falling debris, confirming shortly afterwards that the projectiles appeared to have landed in the sea. Pyongyang routinely responds to combined US and South Korean military drills with weapons tests, having previously conducted short-range ballistic missile launches on 6 August and 12 August.
