On Saturday, Pyongyang fired several short-range projectiles, South Korea’s military said. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the North fired “multiple unidentified short-range projectiles” into the sea over a 20-minute period. “Our military has ramped up surveillance and vigilance in case of a further launch from North Korea,” the Joint Chiefs said. Special Envoy Stephen Biegun talked to his South Korean counterpart Lee Do-hoon, and South Korea’s national security director convened an emergency meeting. It has also repeatedly complained about continued military exercises between the United States and South Korea.
