Seoul: North Korea fired another unidentified ballistic missile toward the East Sea on Wednesday afternoon after launching multiple short-range ballistic missiles earlier in the day, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said. The JCS stated it detected the launch but did not provide further details.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the provocation came just hours after the JCS reported detecting multiple short-range ballistic missiles launched from North Korea's Wonsan area at around 8:50 a.m. The series of missile launches has heightened tensions in the region, prompting close monitoring by neighboring countries and international bodies.
