South Korea issues alert, as North Korea fires short-range missiles

@the_news_21

South Korea has issued an air raid alert for residents on an island off its eastern coast after North Korea fired three missiles toward the sea.

North Korea fired the three short-range ballistic missiles Wednesday morning from its eastern coastal area of Wonsan. As per reports, one of the missiles landed near the Koreas’ eastern sea boundary.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement that North Korea has fired a ballistic missile toward sea Wednesday, but gave no further details like how far it flew.

The launch came hours after North Korea issued a veiled threat to use nuclear weapons to get the US and South Korea to “pay the most horrible price in history” – an escalation of its fiery rhetoric targeting the ongoing large-scale military drills between its rivals.

In a statement, Pak Jong Chon, a secretary of the ruling Workers’ Party who is considered a close confidant of leader Kim Jong Un, called the ongoing military drills between South Korea and the US “aggressive and provocative.”
