North Korea Launches Multiple Ballistic Missiles into Sea of Japan
Between April 7 and 8, 2026, North Korea (DPRK) launched more than 10 ballistic missiles from the Wonsan area into the Sea of Japan. The missiles traveled approximately 240 kilometers. USINDOPACOM monitored the launches, stating they posed no immediate threat to US personnel.
