The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) fired multiple cruise missiles off its east coast on Sunday, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) of the Republic of Korea (ROK) said.
The missiles were launched at around 8 a.m. (2300 GMT on Saturday) and were being analysed by the ROK's and U.S. intelligence authorities, the JCS said, without specifying how many missiles were fired.
"While strengthening surveillance and vigilance, our military is cooperating closely with the United States and monitoring additional signs and activities from the DPRK," it said in a statement.
The latest launches came days after the DPRK fired what it called a new strategic cruise missile called "Pulhwasal-3-31."
Earlier on Sunday, the DPRK's state media KCNA denounced a series of military drills conducted in recent weeks by U.S. and ROK's troops, warning of "merciless" consequences.
"The reality that nuclear war exercises against our republic have been going on like crazy since the beginning of the New Year demands that we be fully prepared for a deadly war," the dispatch said.
