North Korea on Wednesday fired two short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs) into the East Sea on Wednesday, South Korea’s military said.

“Our military has reinforced monitoring and surveillance and is maintaining utmost readiness in close coordination with the United States,” Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.

Wednesday’s missiles were launched 10 minutes apart between 18:10 local time (09:10 GMT) and 18:20 (09:20 GMT) according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The launches came just three days after the North fired off an SRBM into the East Sea.

The reported missile launches come just days after Pyongyang fired another missile into its eastern waters and also comes ahead of US Vice President Kamala Harris’s trip to South Korea on Thursday.

Harris is set to hold talks with President Yoon Suk Yeol, along with other senior officials. She will also visit the heavily foritifed Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) dividing the two Koreas.    

The US and South Korea are currently conducting military drills off the east coast in a show of force against the North.
