North Korea fired two suspected ballistic missiles eastward on Friday,
after Pyongyang publicly warned earlier in the day of a "stronger and
certain" response to the new US sanctions, South Korea's military said.
The
Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said the short-range projectiles were
launched from Uiju in North Pyongan Province, a northwestern region
bordering China, and that they flew around 430 km at an altitude of 36
km, reports Yonhap News Agency.
It detected one of the missiles at 2.41 p.m and the other at 2.52 p.m.
The missiles flew at top speed of around Mach 6, six times the speed of sound, according to officials.
The intelligence authorities of South Korea and the US are conducting a detailed analysis for more information, the JCS said.
The North's latest firing marks its third show of force this year.
The North fired what it claimed to be hypersonic missiles on January 5 and Tuesday.
South Korea's military is monitoring related North Korean movements and maintaining a firm readiness posture, the JCS said.
Earlier
in the day, Pyongyang issued the warning after Washington slapped the
sanctions on six North Koreans involved in the regime's weapons of mass
destruction and ballistic missile programs on Wednesday.
Meanwhile,
the US Indo-Pacific Command said that it is aware of the missile
launches, but assessed they do "not pose an immediate threat to American
personnel or territory or to our allies".
