In a defiant display, North Korea launched more than 10 multiple-launched rockets early Thursday. The launch originated from Sunan, near the capital Pyongyang, and traveled in a north-westerly direction, according to South Korea's military.
The rockets used in this latest show of force are believed to be short-range ballistic missiles, a category closely monitored by South Korean authorities. These types of military actions are strictly prohibited under U.N. Security Council resolutions.
Although the South Korean military promptly reported the activity, specifics about the launch remain undisclosed, leaving room for international speculation and concern.
