North Korea has launched several short-range ballistic missiles early this morning, days after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un promised to “exponentially” increase his nation’s nuke arsenal to defend the country against “hostile” forces.

South Korean military officials announced they detected multiple launches from Pyongyang, the North’s capital. The missiles flew about 220 miles and landed in the ocean between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.
Japan confirmed that at least two missiles were detected. No damage was reported.
The launches were North Korea’s first display of weapons activities in more than 60 days. In early July, they touted the testing of a new warhead delivery system capable of carrying a 4.5-ton warhead.
