North Korea fired multiple short-range missiles from the eastern coastal city of Wonsan, reported Reuters, quoting a statement from the South Korean armed forces, writes BTA.

They flew about 300 km before falling into the sea, according to the same source. No other details have been released yet.

In recent months, North Korea has launched a series of ballistic, cruise and tactical missiles. It defines these actions as part of a program to improve its defensive capabilities.

Earlier today, Kim Yo-chen, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, said Pyongyang's tactical missiles were only aimed at deterring South Korean military aggression. She denied allegations that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea was exporting these weapons.
