SEOUL, South Korea -- North Korea fired two ballistic missiles toward the East Sea on Wednesday, according to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The missiles were launched from central North Korea and soared nearly 500 miles before landing in the waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan. It's the second time this week that the reclusive country has test-launched missiles.
"North Korea fired two unidentified ballistic missiles off its East Coast," the Joint Chiefs of Staff of South Korea told ABC News in a statement Wednesday. "South Korea and the U.S. intelligence are analyzing for details."
The United States Indo-Pacific Command described the North Korean missile launch as "destabilizing" but said there was no "immediate threat to U.S. personnel or territory, or to our allies."
