North Korea Fires 2 Short-Range Ballistic Missiles

North Korea has launced two short-range missiles Monday, according to data from the South Korean Ministry of Defense.

Over the past few days, Pyongyang has launched a total of 6 missiles, 3 Saturday, 1 Sunday and 2 Monday.

The ballistic missiles, fired into the Sea of Japan, are believed to be of the KN-02 type.

Pyongyang routinely test-launches such missiles, but the latest tests followed several weeks of relative calm on the Korean Peninsula after tensions escalated earlier this year, following North Korea’s test of a long-range Taepodong 2 missile in December and its third nuclear test in February, to which the UN responded with sanctions.
