North Korea launches several short-range ballistic missiles into sea overnight, demonstrating firepower

South Korea says North Korea launched multiple short-range ballistics toward the sea overnight, and officials in Seoul have held an emergency meeting on it. It's the latest in a recent series of weapon displays by the North. Earlier this month, North Korea said it had conducted a joint live-fire drill involving missiles, artillery, and drones that it claimed demonstrated “huge destructive power.” These are after President Trump last month scaled back a military exercise with South Korea, in an apparent effort to revive diplomacy with North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un.
