Three missiles were fired from the area near Pyongyang at the time when Joe Biden was completing his visit to Tokyo.

On Wednesday, May 25, during the end of US President Joe Biden's visit to Asia, the DPRK armed forces launched three ballistic missiles towards the Sea of ​​Japan.

This is reported by the Korean agency Yonhap.

A few hours after US President Joe Biden left Japan after his first trip to Asia as president , three ballistic missiles were fired from the Sunan area near Pyongyang.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff of South Korea reported that the first missile was launched at 6 am local time in (21:00 GMT) on Wednesday, the second launch took place 37 minutes later, and the third five minutes later.

Two of the three projectiles launched by the DPRK landed outside the exclusive economic zone of Japan in the Sea of ​​Japan.

No information has yet been received about the area where the third missile fell. The Japanese Ministry of Defense continues to collect data on the tests carried out.

The US Indo-Pacific Command said that Washington is aware of North Korean missile launches, considers them destabilizing, but they do not pose an immediate threat to the US or its allies. The command statement says that US devotion to the defense of South Korea and Japan “remains ironclad”.

Japan protested the DPRK, calling the launch a direct provocation.

Recall, on Friday, May 20, Natalia Nikonorova and Vladislav Deynego, the so-called “ministers of foreign affairs” of the pseudo-state formations in the Donbass, unrecognized in the world, met in Moscow with the DPRK Ambassador to Russia, Sin Hong Chol.
