North Korea fired three short-ranged ballistic missiles from a location near Pyongyang toward waters off the North's east coast on March 13th, according to South Korea.
The missiles traveled about 224 miles, reaching an altitude of around 60 miles according to South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff, and were also reported to have been observed by the Japanese Defense Ministry.
This ballistic missile launch is North Korea's third so far this month, prompting South Korea's presidential office to release a statement saying that it "strongly regrets" the hostile behavior by North Korea and said that it would be taking 'stern measures' as a response.
South Korean media Yonhap reported that North Korea appeared to have fired the missiles from a large multiple rocket launcher at intervals of around 20 seconds.
The missiles likely landed outside of Japan's exclusive economic zone, according to Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK).
