The South Korean military told CNN that North Korea launched the two unidentified projectiles from the Wonson area on Thursday morning — Wednesday afternoon in the US — and that the flight distance was approximately 430 kilometers (about 267 miles).

Analysts say the two objects were most likely missiles.

The two projectiles were launched at 5:34 am Thursday local time (4:34 p.m. ET Wednesday) and 5:57 a.m. local time (4:57 p.m. ET Wednesday), according to the South Korean military.

“Our military, in preparation for additional launches, is maintaining (its) readiness posture by monitoring related movements,” an official in the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.

“The US and South Korea are in the process of analyzing the details in relation to the launches,” the JCS said.
