Iran Press/ Asia: Both missiles were believed to have splashed down in the Sea of Japan in waters outside Japan’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ), which extends 200 nautical miles (370 kilometers) from its coast, the Defense Ministry said.
North Korea has fired a pair of short-range ballistic missiles off its east coast, according to South Korea’s military, two days after Pyongyang resumed banned testing activities with an intercontinental ballistic missile launch.
North Korea’s state media said two projectiles were fired from a multiple rocket launcher, aiming at targets 395km (245 miles) and 337km (209 miles) away, respectively.
“The 600mm multiple rocket launcher mobilised in the firing … is a means of tactical nuclear weapon,” capable of “paralysing” an enemy airfield, state news agency KCNA said.
The incident comes just two days after North Korea fired an intercontinental ballistic missile into the sea off Japan's west coast, in what state media described as a move to strengthen its "fatal" nuclear attack capacity. 219
