Pyongyang’s 18th round of missile tests this year comes after US aircraft carrier leads exercises in the Philippine Sea
North Korea has fired eight short-range ballistic missiles towards the sea off its east coast, a day after South Korea and the US wrapped up military exercises involving an American aircraft carrier.
The missiles were fired on Sunday from the Sunan area of the North Korean capital Pyongyang, South Korea’s joint chiefs of staff said. Japan’s Kyodo news agency, citing a government source, also said the North had launched multiple missiles.
