We begin with this breaking news.<br />North Korea fired multiple unidentified projectiles earlier this Wednesday morning - just days after it fired two short-range ballistic missiles last week.<br />Let's go live to our Park Hee-jun at the news center.<br />Hee-jun, another round of projectiles within the space of a week?<br /><br />You're right, Conn-young.<br />The South Korean military's Joint Chiefs of Staff confirmed just about an hour ago that multple projectiles were launched from the Hodo peninsula in Hamgyeongnam-do Province - that's on North Korea's east coast.<br />As you said Connyoung, this comes less than a week six days actually, after the North fired two short-range ballistic missiles into the East Sea on the 25th of this month.<br />Those two were also fired from the same Hamgyeongnam-do Province.<br />Joint analysis by South Korea and the U.S. have revealed the missiles which traveled 600 kilometers before fallling into the East Sea last Wednesday were a new type of ballistic missile KN-23.<br /><br />The Joint Chiefs of Staff said it is maintaining a readiness posture in case of additional launches.<br />The White House, the Pentagon and the U.S. State Department has not given any immediate response.<br />This is the second missile test by North Korea since its leader Kim Jong-un and U.S. President Donald Trump met at the inter-Korean border last month and agreed to revive denuclearization talks.<br />Connyoung.<br /><br />I'm sure we'll find out what kinds of projectiles were fired, how many were launched and how they will affect the denuclearization talks... in the coming hours, hopefully.<br />Thanks, Hee-jun.<br />
