North Korean Missile flew towards Ulleungdo Island in South Korea causing Air-Raid Sirens

One of the missiles fired by North Korea flew toward South Korea's Ulleungdo Island and fell into the sea, the Yonhap news agency reported, citing South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Several missiles were fired, it said.

Earlier, Yonhap reported, citing the South Korean military, that the DPRK fired a ballistic missile toward the East Sea (Sea of Japan).

The missile has landed near South Korean waters for the first time, prompting Seoul to respond with its own air-to-ground missiles after residents on an eastern island were told to evacuate.

South Korean warplanes fired three air-to-ground missiles into the sea north across the NLL in response, the South’s military said.

It comes as Pyongyang calls for the United States and South Korea to stop combined military exercises which began on Monday and are scheduled to continue into Friday.
