North Korea has launched eight short-range ballistic missiles (SRBM) into the Sea of Japan. This was reported by the South Korean agency Yonhap, citing the South Korean military on Sunday, June 5th.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said the launches were seen from 9:08 a.m. to 9:43 p.m. from areas around Sunan in Pyongyang.

It was noted that the military of South Korea and the United States maintains a state of full readiness.
The ballistic missiles launched by North Korea on Sunday cover a distance of 300 to 400 km, and their flight altitude is from 50 to 100 km, according to Japan’s Kyodo agency, citing Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida condemned the launches, citing the North Korean government protesting. The missiles landed outside Japan’s exclusive economic zone.
It should be noted that the DPRK launched missiles the day after Seoul and Washington completed their joint exercises near the peninsula with the participation of the American aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan – a ship of this type was involved in the maneuvers in the first opportunity since 2017.
North Korea’s reaction to such a joint military exercise by the allies was so painful, that they called it a rehearsal for aggression.
In recent months, the DPRK, which is in international isolation and subject to harsh sanctions, has already conducted several missile tests. The United States does not exclude that Pyongyang may also test nuclear weapons for the first time since 2017.
