North Korea Fires 3 Ballistic Missiles Off Eastern Coast

Japan is denouncing North Korea's firing of three ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan Monday.

The missiles were fired from the North's Hwanghae province, located on the country's eastern coast. South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staffs have indentified the missiles as Rodong missiles, which have a range of 1,000 kilometers.

Japan's defense ministry says the rockets fell into its Exclusive Economic Zone in the region, which is known in Korea as the East Sea.

Monday's missile firings come as world leaders met in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou for the two-day G-20 summit of advanced and emerging economies.
