North Korea fired multiple ballistic missiles on Monday. South Korea's military called the launch a "show of force" in response to Seoul's successful test of a hypersonic missile, according to Deutsche Welle and Al Jazeera.
Deutsche Welle reports it was North Korea's fourth missile launch in October.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missiles were launched from an area around Pyongyang, CBS News reports. France 24 reports they were fired off the east coast and that Seoul increased surveillance.
Japan confirmed at least one suspected ballistic missile, France 24 reports.
France 24 also links the launch to tensions over border landmine explosions last month that injured three South Korean soldiers.
