- North Korea launched ballistic missiles toward the sea on Saturday from the Wonsan area on its eastern coast, according to South Korea.
- The launch came one day after the U.S., South Korea, and Japan completed a trilateral military drill staged in response to North Korean nuclear threats.
Why it matters: North Korea fired missiles the day after a trilateral drill ended, confirming its pattern of responding to allied exercises with launches. South Korea's detection from the Wonsan launch zone pins the test to a known facility already tracked by regional intelligence.
