North Korea Fires Three Unidentified Projectiles Into The Sea Of Japan: Report

North Korea today (9 March) fired at least three unidentified projectiles towards the Sea of Japan according to the officials from South Korea and the United States (US), reports CNN.

The Defence Ministry of South Korea informed media persons in a briefing that the projectiles were fired this morning from Sondok area in Hamgyong Province of North Korea.

The development comes after North Korea had last week fired two unidentified short-range projectiles into the waters between Korean Peninsula and Japan from its coastal city of Wonsan.

Meanwhile, as about the latest projectiles fired by North Korea, it is also being said that those could be a part of North Korea's military drills for its wintertime exercise.

It should be noted that in its New Year's day message, North Korea had asserted that in near future it would show off to the world a ‘strategic weapon’. Experts have speculated that the said weapon could be an advanced version of North Korea's existing intercontinental ballistic missile or a submarine-launched ballistic missile.
