North Korea Fires Three More Rockets into the East Sea as Part of Winter Training Exercise
|Obviously coronavirus fears are not stopping the North Koreans from doing their annual wintertime military training:
North Korea fired three short-range projectiles into the East Sea on Monday for the second time in a week in what was believed to be part of a joint strike exercise, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.
The projectiles were fired northeastward from areas near its eastern town of Sondok in South Hamgyong Province at around 7:36 a.m, the JCS said, adding that they flew around 200 kilometers, reaching a maximum altitude of around 50 km.
The launches came a week after the North conducted similar firings on March 2.
“Today’s launches appear to be part of its artillery strike drill involving multiple types of multiple rocket launchers for a wintertime exercise, following the previous ones staged on Feb. 28 and March 2,” the JCS said in a release.

You can read more at the link, but of significance is that North Korea continues to not fire their longer range missiles which is keeping them in compliance with the informal agreement Kim Jong-un made with President Trump.
Fatty throwing his toys to get attention from COVID19.
