At around 8 a.m. on the same day, the Joint Chiefs detected several cruise missiles launched by North Korea. The Joint Chiefs stated, "South Korean and U.S. intelligence authorities are conducting a detailed analysis," adding, "Our military has strengthened surveillance and vigilance while closely cooperating with the U.S. side and is monitoring additional signs and activities of North Korea."
