North Korea fired a volley of cruise missiles from its western coast, toward Yellow Sea, on Wednesday, the South Korean military said, in the latest example of fraying ties on the Korean Peninsula.
"Our military detected several cruise missiles launched by North Korea toward the Yellow Sea at around 7 a.m. today," South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement, adding that details of the launches were “being closely analyzed by South Korean and U.S. intelligence authorities.”
The missiles flew in a circular trajectory above waters west of the North Korean capital Pyongyang, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported, citing an unidentified source.
