North Korea launches series of artillery shells

WORLD, Jun. 13 (YPA) – North Korea fired a series of artillery shells toward the sea on Sunday, Seoul’s military said, days after leader Kim Jong Un vowed to use “power for power” to defend the country’s sovereignty.

The South Korean military detected “several flight trajectories” that are understood to be shots from North Korean artillery, Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said.

The suspected shots were fired between 8:07 am (2307 GMT) to 11:03 am Sunday morning, the JCS said, stressing Seoul maintains a firm military readiness in collaboration with treaty ally United States.

Pyongyang’s official Korean Central News Agency has not released information on Sunday’s shots, nor on other recent missile launches.
