North Korea fired multiple suspected ballistic missiles and attempted to disrupt South Korea’s communications on Thursday, just days after leader Kim Jong Un’s space program was dealt a blow when a rocket blew up soon after liftoff.
South Korea’s military detected about a dozen projectiles presumed to be short-range ballistic missiles launched from an area near Pyongyang’s main international airport toward the east from around 06:14 a.m., the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a text message to reporters.
