All three missiles landed in the Sea of Japan, traveling approximately 350 kilometers each and falling outside Japan's exclusive economic zone.

This marks North Korea's first ballistic missile test since January 14th, when they claimed to have launched a solid-fueled intermediate-range ballistic missile.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida strongly condemned the launches, calling them a threat to regional and international peace and security. He emphasized that "this series of North Korean actions must not be tolerated."

Japan is currently analyzing the details of the launches in close cooperation with the United States and South Korea. (ILKHA)
