North Korea tests ballistic missiles as tensions with Seoul escalate
North Korea fired several short-range ballistic missiles toward the sea on Wednesday in its second launch event in two days, South Korea’s military said. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missiles lifted off from North Korea’s eastern coastal Wonsan area and flew about 240 kilometres each in a direction toward the North’s eastern waters. On Tuesday night, Jang Kum-chol, first vice minister at the North Korean foreign ministry, said South Korea would always remain the North’s “most hostile enemy state."
