North Korea launched what appeared to be two short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs) into the East Sea (also known as Sea of Japan) on 15 September, marking the northeast Asian country's first ballistic missile launches in about six months.

The SRBMs, the exact type of which has yet to be revealed, were launched from the country's central Yangdok County in South Pyongan Province at 12.34 h and 12.39 h local time. The missiles flew a distance of about 800 km and reached a maximum altitude of 60 km, said South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), adding that they are analysing the details of the launch along with US intelligence authorities.
