# North Korea fired several projectiles, including at least one short-range ballistic missile, toward waters off the country’s west coast on Tuesday. It is North Korea’s first known missile launch since April 19, when the country test-fired several short-range ballistic missiles. South Korea’s Foreign Ministry urged North Korea to respond to Seoul’s peace overtures and efforts to reduce tensions. A spokesperson for the ministry said Seoul would maintain its goal of the complete denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula, while trying to resolve the North Korean nuclear issue in close coordination with the international community.
