North Korea test-fired four short-range missiles on Friday, a week ahead of the U.S. defense secretary's scheduled visit to Seoul.

North Korea has test-fired four short-range missiles into the Yellow Sea from Dongchang-ri in North Pyongan province on Friday afternoon, Yonhap News reported. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un reportedly supervised the launch, according to UPI.

"What the North fired are believed to be KN-02 ground-to-ship missiles, factoring in their range, speed and trajectory," a JCS officer said on condition of anonymity to Yonhap News.

The missiles reportedly flew roughly 140 km and plunged into the sea, according to Reuters. One missile may have landed in North Korea's own territory, reported by UPI and Yonhap News.
