North Korea carried out another projectile test just this afternoon less than a month since the last one.
According to the South Korean military, the North fired 2 projectiles from its Pyeongannam-do Province into the East Sea.
It is yet unclear what type of projectiles they are.
For details, let's connect to our Oh Jung-hee, who's joining us on the line from Seoul's defense ministry.
Jung-hee, what can you tell us?
Hey guys,
As you've said... this afternoon, North Korea fired two yet-unidentified projectiles from its western Pyeongannam-do Province into the East Sea.
This is the North's 12th projectile test this year.
The launch comes 29 days after the regime fired a Pukguksong-3 Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile earlier this month.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff says it's monitoring the movements north of the border and maintaining its readiness posture in case the North fires additional projectiles.
It's also analyzing today's projectiles with the U.S.
The projectiles are believed to be from a large-scale multiple rocket launcher or a new type of tactical surface-to-surface missile, not SLBMs, as the projectiles were not fired from sea but land.
Seoul's presidential office convened a National Security Council meeting to discuss the matter.
Meanwhile, Japan's defense ministry also confirmed the North's projectile launch.
According to Kyodo news agency, Tokyo said the projectiles seem to be ballistic missiles and they did not land in Japan's exclusive economic zone.
That's all I have for now, back to you
