Japan confirms North Korea has launched two ballistic missiles on Thursday as Kim Jong-un resumes his war-mongering military tests.
US officials and the Japanese Coast Guard confirmed the short-range rockets have been fired into the Sea of Japan.
This is North Korea's second missile test in less than 24 hours after around 12 months of inactivity
Tonight, authorities in Japan reported that at least one "projectile" believed to be a ballistic missile had been launched from the rogue state.
Minutes later, a US official told Fox News that the North fired two short-ranged ballistic missiles - capable of carrying a nuclear warhead - into the Sea of Japan.
Last week it was reported that the hermit kingdom was preparing to carry out its "first nuclear weapons test" since Joe Biden took office.
US officials were reportedly on alert after scaled-down, simulated military exercises were conducted by the US and South Korea last week, CNN reported.
The Covid pandemic had previously limited such joint military drills to computer simulations.
The last rocket test conducted by North Korea took place in March 2020.
