North Korea fired multiple cruise missiles off its east coast into the Sea of Japan on Wednesday, South Korea’s military said, according to Yonhap News.

The missiles were launched around 9 a.m. Wednesday off the eastern coastal city of Wonsan, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) confirmed, according to the outlet. 

In recent weeks, Kim Jong Un has ordered a complete abandonment of efforts to eventually reunify with South Korea — a long-shot hope of both North and South since the beginning of the Korean War.
