South Korea's military said North Korea launched 10 short-range ballistic missiles from the Wonsan area on Thursday, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported.
The launch comes in light of growing tensions between the two Koreas following a mine explosion in a border area that injured three South Korean soldiers. A joint investigation by Seoul and the United Nations earlier this month concluded that North Korea planted the mine in the demilitarized zone, angering Pyongyang, which denied it.
