North Korea Fires Multiple Missiles, Several Land Within South Korean Territorial Waters
At approximately 2000 EST, air raid sirens sounded on the South Korean island community of Ulleung-gun. The South Korean and Japanese militaries had confirmed within five minutes of launch that a probable ballistic missile, "possibly flying an irregular trajectory", was on course to hit the South Korean island community. Fortunately, the missile fell short of Ulleung-gun, but landed with 57km of the South Korean coast, the most severe provocation since North Korea began launching missiles two decades ago.
