North Korea Fires Three Ballistic Missiles
North Korea fired three ballistic missiles early on Tuesday into the sea off its east coast that had a range that could reach the port city of Busan, South Korea's military said.
According to MANA,The missiles were launched eastward from an area in the North's western region called Hwangju from 5:45 a.m. local time (2045 GMT Monday) to 6:40 a.m., the South's military said.
"The ballistic missiles flight went from 500 kilometers to 600 kilometers, which is a distance far enough to strike all of South Korea including Busan," the South's military said in a statement.
China has also sharply criticized the decision as a move that will destabilize the security balance in the region.
