North Korea fired two short-range projectiles towards the East Sea (Sea of Japan) on 2 March, marking Pyongyang’s first such weapon test this year.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said in a statement that both projectiles were launched in a north-easterly direction at about 12.37 h local time from an area near the eastern coastal city of Wonsan in North Korea’s Kangwon Province.

The North Korean military began carrying out on 28 February what it described as “joint strike drills” that were inspected by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
