Seoul: Adding to the series of missile launches started earlier in the day, North Korea fired six more missiles toward South Korea’s East and Yellow Seas Wednesday, S Korea military said, Yonhap news agency reported.

The North launched the latest missiles, including suspected surface-to-air ones, from 4:30 pm to 5:10 pm, toward the East Sea from Sondok and Sinpo areas, and toward the Yellow Sea from Kwail and Onchon areas, the military said.

The latest sabre-rattling comes hours after N Korea launched at least 17 ballistic and other missiles off its east and west coasts, the report said.

According to the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), at around 6:51 am, the North launched four short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs) into the Yellow Sea from areas in North Pyongan Province.

According to the Yonhap report, starting at 9:12 am, Pyongyang staged a series of over 10 missile launches, including those presumed to be SRBMs and surface-to-air missiles, from various sites into the East Sea and Yellow Sea, the JCS added.

South Korea has sent a formal warning message to North Korea, urging the recalcitrant Kim Jong-un regime to immediately cease all provocations, it said.
