SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea fired suspected short-range ballistic missiles off its east coast on Friday, South Korea’s military said, a day after South Korea and the United States flew powerful fighter jets in a joint drill that the North views as a major security threat. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the launches were made from the North’s east coast Wonsan region around 3:10 p.m. .
On Thursday, two South Korean F-35As and two U.S. F-22 Raptors were mobilized for combined aerial exercises over the central region of South Korea. North Korea is extremely sensitive to the deployment of sophisticated U.S. aircraft. Earlier Friday, Kim’s sister and senior official Kim Yo Jong said North Korea’s recent weapons tests were part of the country’s five-year arms buildup plan launched in 2021.
