NorthKorea projectiles were ballistic missiles, flew about 250km: South Korea military
SEOUL - The unidentified projectiles launched by North Korea early on Wednesday were ballistic missiles that flew about 250km , South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
The latest launches were from the Hodo peninsula on North Korea's east coast, the same area from where last week's were conducted, the JCS said in a statement. Japanese Defence Minister Takeshi Iwaya said any ballistic missile launch by North Korea would violate United Nations resolutions, Japan’s Kyodo news agency reported. He added that the ministry will analyse North Korea’s intentions and objectives.
Both Trump and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo played down last week's launches and Pompeo has continued to express hope for a diplomatic way forward with North Korea. A February summit in Vietnam between Trump and Kim collapsed after the two sides failed to reconcile differences between Washington's demands for Pyongyang's complete denuclearisation and North Korean demands for sanctions relief.
Pompeo said on Monday he hoped working-level talks to revive denuclearisation talks could occur"very soon," but emphasised that a follow-up leaders' summit was not planned.
