North Korea launched several projectiles, including a ballistic missile, into the Yellow Sea on Tuesday, South Korea’s military said.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said they had detected the launches of “several projectiles”, including a short-range ballistic missile, into the Yellow Sea from the North Korean city of Chongju at around 1:00 pm local time.

The Yellow Sea is the body of water separating the Korean peninsula from China.

The missiles flew about 80 kilometres, Seoul’s military said, adding that it was analysing their specifications and flight range, and had “strengthened surveillance and vigilance in preparation for possible additional launches.”
