The South Korean military announced that North Korea fired two suspected short-range ballistic missiles from a location in North Pyongan Province.

On the day of launch, North Korea announced that it was holding the 14th Supreme People’s Assembly (SPS) on April 10, according to the state-run media agency, Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

The South Korean military is maintaining readiness by tracing and monitoring related movements in preparation for additional launches, according to a statement by South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff.
