North Korea Fires Multiple Cruise Missiles into West Sea

North Korea has fired multiple cruise missiles into the sea off its west coast. It is the third such test in less than a week.

South Korea's military said, it detected several unknown cruise missiles launched into the West Sea of North Korea this morning. However, the Army gave no details on the number of missiles fired, how far they flew or if they were launched from land or



sea.

North Korea has intensified its cruise missile testing this year. On Sunday, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said, they detected multiple cruise missiles over waters near the North Korean port of Sinpo. Earlier on Thursday, North Korea said, it had carried out its first test of a new generation of strategic cruise missiles.
