In retaliation for its northern neighbour, the South Korean government fired a surface-to-air missile today, on Wednesday.
According to media reports, North Korea blasted three additional ballistic missiles into the East Sea today, Wednesday.
North Korea had earlier reported the launch of two short-range ballistic missiles from the country’s east coast.
Observers have been concerned for months that North Korea will perform its first nuclear test in almost five years as a result of Pyongyang’s numerous missile tests.
The International Atomic Energy Agency has highlighted the activity since last June at the Bunji-Ri site, where North Korea conducted six tests of nuclear bombings between 2006 and 2017.
As a result of its nuclear weapons programme and ballistic missiles, Pyongyang’s leadership is subject to harsh sanctions.
