Seven of them were launched over the course of the 3rd of July (4th, local time).
All apparently went splash on target in the Sea of Japan, well short of endangering much of anything. For those who got the advance brief on this, yes, the launch site for several of the missiles was Kittaeryong (Gitdaeryong).
Kyoudou wire service also has the report, with the obligatory condemnations:
The Japanese and South Korean governments separately condemned the missile launches as provocative actions that are in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions.That would be the least of what they are...
On the positive side, there are mixed reports of anything longer ranged being stacked for launch. This may mean that Hawaii will be off the target list for this little display of measured contempt.
We'll see if the North Koreans will pull off a surprise launch or whether they are happy to just be putting on the display they've managed so far.
