North Korea tests 23 missiles, prompting response from South Korea and raising tensions

A North Korean missile landed close to South Korea's waters, officials said.

SEOUL -- Tensions rose in the Korean Peninsula on Wednesday while the two Koreas test-fired missiles one after another in a series of tit-for-tat moves.

North Korea fired a total of 23 missiles that were a combination of ballistic and surface-to-air weapons. The tests included four short-range ballistic missiles fired at 6:51 a.m. local time from its North Pyongan Province into the West Sea. Two hours later, the North fired three short-range ballistic missiles into the East Sea (Sea of Japan) one of which landed in the waters below south of the NLL, or North Limit Line. [...] The missile fell 104 miles northwest of South Korea’s Ulleung island, triggering an air raid alert which forced the island’s 9,000 residents to evacuate to underground shelters. [...]

In a retaliatory move South Korea quickly responded by launching its own air-to-surface missiles into a similar area above the NLL, launched by two F-15K and KF-16 jet fighters.
