South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) announced on Monday afternoon that North Korea launched “multiple” close-range ballistic missiles (CRBMs) at around 1:50 p.m. KST from south of the capital in Hwangju County. An unspecified number of missiles reportedly flew 37 to 62 miles (60 to 100 kilometers) west toward the Yellow Sea © Korea Risk Group. All rights reserved. |
