"The South Korean army today , June 5, from 09.08 to 09.43 (from 03.08 to 03.43 Moscow time) recorded eight launches by North Korea of short-range ballistic missiles from the Sunan Airport area in Pyongyang and other places", the military said.
They did not specify where and how many other locations are located. It is noted that the South Korean military, in cooperation with the United States, maintain defense readiness and monitor developments. This is the 18th DPRK missile test since the beginning of the year, including tests of ICBMs, a ballistic missile for submarines, systems for a space satellite and a new tactical system for nuclear weapons. The last time the DPRK launched three ballistic missiles towards the Sea of Japan on the morning of May 25th. The first of them is presumably intercontinental.
