North Korea fires 10 missiles of different types

WORLD, Nov. 02 (YPA) – North Korea fired at least 10 missiles of various types on Wednesday, one of which landed near South Korean territorial waters, prompting the South to respond by firing a surface-to-air missile.

“North Korea fired at least 10 missiles of various types today towards the east and west,” Yonhap news agency reported, citing South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The launch had South Korean officials sound a rare air raid warning for the island of Ulleungdo, JCS said, telling residents to “evacuate to the nearest underground shelter.”

The South Korean military said that launch marked “the first time since the division of the peninsula” that a missile had “landed near our territorial waters south of the Northern Limit Line.”

It called the move “very rare and intolerable.

No more details were given about the type of missiles.
