North Korea fired multiple short-range ballistic missiles Wednesday, displaying military hardware it has been suspected of sending to Russia in a test that came soon after it dispatched its foreign minister to Moscow.
North Korea fired multiple missiles starting around 6:50 a.m. toward waters off its east coast that flew about 400 kilometers (250 miles), South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a message sent to reporters. Japan’s Coast Guard said separately at least two ballistic missiles were fired and they landed outside of the country’s exclusive economic zone.
