North Korea fired several rockets into the Sea of Japan on Tuesday.
The South Korean Defense Ministry on Tuesday said a total of 7 rocket-propelled projectiles were fired at 6:00 AM and 5:00 PM local time from near the eastern coastal city of Wonsan, North Korea.
The ministry said the 4 rockets fired in the afternoon are believed to be a new model of multiple-launch rocket. It also said those rockets landed in the Sea of Japan after traveling about 150 kilometers.
A spokesperson for the South Korean Defense Ministry strongly denounced the launches, calling them a threat against the joint US-South Korean military exercise that began on February 24th.

South Korean and US forces are on the alert for further military provocations.
