TOKYO, March 18. /TASS/. North Korea launched two missiles, presumed to be ballistic ones, in the early hours of Monday, the Japanese coast guards said.

Both projectiles have already fallen. No information about their type is available at this point. Their flight lasted around five minutes.

According to the country’s NHK television, the missiles have splashed down outside Japan’s exclusive economic zone.

North Korea’s latest ballistic launch took place on January 14. Back then, the country tested a solid-fuel missile with a hypersonic guided warhead. Subsequently, several cruise missiles were test-fired, including from a submarine.
