North Korea fired two ballistic missiles early on Sunday, authorities in neighbouring countries said, the seventh such launch by Pyongyang in recent days that added to widespread alarm in Washington and its allies in Tokyo and Seoul.
Both missiles reached an altitude of 100 km and covered a range of 350 km, Japan's state minister of defence, Toshiro Ino, told reporters. The first was fired at around 1:47 a.m. local time and the second one some six minutes later.
"The U.S. commitments to the defense of the Republic of Korea and Japan remain ironclad," the Hawaii-based U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said in a statement. Ino said Tokyo would not tolerate the repeated actions by North Korea. The incident was the seventh such launch since Sept. 25.
