SEOUL, Oct. 29 -- North Korea fired around a dozen short-range ballistic missiles toward the East Sea on Thursday, the South Korean military said.

The missiles were launched from the Wonsan area at around 12:30 p.m., with further analysis of their flight distances and other specifications currently under way, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.

The latest launch came more than two weeks after Pyongyang test-fired on Oct. 12 what it claimed were tactical ballistic missiles aimed at improving a key weapons component.

The JCS said it has stepped up surveillance and remains vigilant against any potential additional launches, while maintaining a robust defense posture through close information-sharing with the United States and Japan related to the latest missile launch.

首尔，10月29日——韩国军方称，朝鲜周四向东海发射了约12枚短程弹道导弹。

联合参谋本部表示，导弹于下午 12 点 30 分左右从元山地区发射，目前正在对其飞行距离和其他规格进行进一步分析。

最新一次发射发生在平壤于 10 月 12 日试射其声称旨在改进关键武器部件的战术弹道导弹两周多之后。

日本联合参谋本部表示，已加强监视，并对任何潜在的额外发射保持警惕，同时通过与美国和日本密切共享与最新导弹发射相关的信息，保持强大的防御态势。
