WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 (Yonhap) -- U.S. Pacific Command (PACOM) said Thursday that North Korea's latest ballistic missile launches posed no immediate threat to the United States or its allies, reaffirming Washington's commitment to regional defense.
"We are aware of the missile launches and are consulting closely with our allies and partners," the command said in a release. "Based on current assessments, this event does not pose an immediate threat to U.S. personnel or territory, or to our allies," it added.
The statement was issued following the North's firing of about a dozen short-range ballistic missiles toward the East Sea earlier Thursday (Korean time). The launches are believed to have involved the North's KN-25 super-large 600-millimeter multiple rocket launcher, which Pyongyang claims can be fitted with its Hwasan-31 tactical nuclear warheads.
PACOM said North Korea launched two ballistic missiles Thursday, differing from the South Korean military's assessment that Pyongyang fired about a dozen.
The command also reaffirmed Washington's defense commitments in the region.
"The United States remains committed to the defense of the U.S. homeland and our allies in the region," it said.

华盛顿，10 月 29 日（韩联社）——美国太平洋司令部（PACOM）周四表示，朝鲜最近的弹道导弹发射对美国及其盟友不构成直接威胁，重申了华盛顿对地区防御的承诺。
“我们已获悉导弹发射事件，并正与盟友和伙伴密切磋商，”该司令部在一份声明中表示。“根据目前的评估，此次事件不会对美国人员或领土，以及我们的盟友构成直接威胁，”声明补充道。
此前，朝鲜于周四（韩国时间）早些时候向东海发射了约十几枚短程弹道导弹。据信，此次发射使用了朝鲜的KN-25型超大型600毫米多管火箭炮，平壤方面声称该火箭炮可搭载其“华山-31”战术核弹头。
美国太平洋司令部称朝鲜周四发射了两枚弹道导弹，这与韩国军方评估的平壤发射了约十几枚导弹的说法有所不同。
该指挥部还重申了华盛顿在该地区的国防承诺。
“美国将继续致力于保卫美国本土和我们在该地区的盟友，”声明中写道。
