South Korea says North Korean fighter jets have fired missiles off the North’s east coast.
A South Korean defence official says the North launched several fighter jets after it conducted suspected cruise missile tests on Tuesday morning.
The official says the North Korean fighter jets fired an unspecified number of air-to-surface missiles toward the North’s eastern waters.
The launches came on the eve of the 108th birthday of North Korea’s late founder, Kim Il Sung, the grandfather of current leader Kim Jong Un. They also came a day ahead of South Korean parliamentary elections.
