Military: "North Korea fires 2 ballistic missiles... ROK-US readiness posture" (Update)

In March of this year, news about North Korea's ballistic missile launch over the West Sea is being shown on the TV screen in the Seoul Station waiting room.

[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu, Military Specialist Reporter] The Joint Chiefs of Staff announced on the 10th that "a trajectory presumed to be from a North Korean multiple rocket launcher was detected."

According to the Joint Chiefs, the trajectory was detected between 6:21 PM and 6:37 PM on the same day. The military authorities reported that two projectiles were detected.

The Joint Chiefs stated, "Our military is strengthening surveillance and vigilance, maintaining a thorough readiness posture while closely cooperating between South Korea and the United States."

Previously, North Korea fired about five multiple rocket launcher rounds into the West Sea on the 12th of last month. The launch type at that time was estimated to be 240mm, which is under 300mm caliber and lacks guidance capability. Typically, the Joint Chiefs did not publicly announce multiple rocket launcher firings, but recently they have been disclosing such information.

Currently, six U.S. Air Force stealth fighters F-35A are temporarily deployed in Gunsan, Jeonbuk, for the South Korea-U.S. joint exercises.
