Rocket artillery projectiles pose a threat to large urban agglomerations in South Korea, located only 40-50 kilometers from the border.
North Korea fires the believed multiple launch rocket system. This was announced on Sunday night, June 12, by the General Staff of the South Korean Army.

The military found it difficult to name the number of missiles launched and the scope of their flight. As a spokesman for the presidential administration in Seoul noted, North Korea does not always report tests of rocket artillery systems, projectiles flying at low altitude and at short distances.
At the same time, officials in South Korea have previously expressed concern about the possible modernization of such weapons systems in the DPRK, as they pose a risk to large urban agglomerations in South Korea, located only 40-50 kilometers from border.
The current alleged MLRS trial is the latest in a series of North Korean weapons trials this year. Experts see them as an attempt by Pyongyang to put pressure on the United States and South Korea to achieve easing of international sanctions and other concessions.
Washington has not ruled out that Pyongyang may also test nuclear weapons for the first time since 2017.
