South Korea, and the United States, fired four short-range missiles into the sea off the country’s east coast on Wednesday morning local time in response to North Korea sending a ballistic missile over Japan and into the Pacific Ocean the day before, officials in Seoul said.
Following North Korea’s actions on Tuesday, which are seen as provocations, South Korea’s First Vice Foreign Minister Cho Hyun-dong spoke with his U.S. and Japanese counterparts that evening to discuss a joint response.
