The self-declared nuclear power of North Korea has fired ballistic missiles again, according to the South Korean military. Such missiles can also be equipped with a nuclear warhead if necessary.
According to the General Staff, the two missiles flew towards the sea between the Korean peninsula and Japan on Wednesday (local time), Yonhap news agency reports. A US nuclear submarine had arrived here earlier. The military is still analyzing the launch to determine what type of missile was fired.
According to the Pyongyang leadership, North Korea had tested a new type of long-range solid-fuel propulsion missile last week. UN decrees prohibit the internationally isolated country from testing ballistic missiles of any range.
Unprecedented series
Tensions on the Korean Peninsula have increased significantly recently. After an unprecedented series of missile tests last year, North Korea has again tested nuclear missiles several times this year.
