North Korea fired three KN-01 short-range missiles into the East Sea on Sunday, ratcheting up tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said that the communist state fired three missiles between 4:21 p.m. and 4:47 p.m. from near Wonsan toward Mayangdo Island. The missiles traveled some 100 kilometers, it said.
The North test-fired the same type of missiles in February and May.
The provocative move came a day after the two Koreas planned to mark the June 15 inter-Korean declaration announced after a bilateral summit in 2000.
