North Korea on Thursday Nov. 28, 2019 fired two unidentified projectiles into the sea, South Korea’s military said, three days after the North said its troops conducted artillery drills near its disputed sea boundary with South Korea.
The launches were an apparent attempt by North Korea to pressure the United States to make concessions in their stalemated nuclear diplomacy.
Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement that the projectiles were launched toward the North's eastern waters after lifting off from the country's northeastern South Hamgyong province.
It said South Korea's military is monitoring possible additional launches by North Korea. It gave no further details, such as what kind of projectiles were launched and where they landed.
In the past, such reports by South Korea about North Korean launches have usually turned out to be test launches of missiles, artillery pieces and other weapons. Late last month, North Korea conducted what it called a test-firing of a new "super-large" multiple rocket launcher, a day after South Korea's military said the North fired two projectiles into its eastern waters.
