SEOUL: North Korea fired two suspected cruise missiles Tuesday morning, a South Korean military official said.
The missiles are believed to have flown mostly over inland areas, and they were not fired toward the Sea of Japan, a person familiar with the matter said.
North Korea has fired four sets of ballistic missiles this year. The country’s last known launch of a cruise missile came in September last year, when Pyongyang said it successfully tested a new type of long-range cruise missile.
Any cruise missile launch by North Korea does not violate U.N. Security Council resolutions that ban the country from firing ballistic missiles.
