North Korea Fires Three Ballistic Missiles into the East Sea

The only thing surprising about this missile firing is that they did not do this earlier for the start of the Freedom Shield exercise:

North Korea fired multiple short-range ballistic missiles toward the East Sea on Monday, the South Korean military said, just hours before talks between the top diplomats of South Korea and the United States.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said it detected the missile launches in the area of Pyongyang between 7:44 a.m. and 8:22 a.m., which flew around 300 kilometers and landed in the East Sea. 

“North Korea fired at least three missiles, and their trajectories were similar to those of KN-24,” a senior military official said.

The KN-24 is a solid-fuel ballistic missile with a range of up to 410 km and a payload of 400-500 kg.
