Seoul detects multiple projectiles hours after USS Kentucky reportedly departs Busan port

North Korea fired “several” cruise missiles toward the Yellow Sea in the early morning on Saturday, according to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), hours after a U.S. nuclear submarine reportedly left the peninsula.

South Korea detected the missiles around 4 a.m. KST, the JCS stated. South Korean and U.S. authorities are analyzing the projectiles but have not released further information, such as flight time and distance, as of early Monday morning.
