Kim Jong Un's North Korea fires multiple ballistic missiles

Tensions on the Korean peninsula have risen further after Pyongyang carried out its latest weapons test. North Korea fired several ballistic missiles into the sea on Sunday morning from the Sinpo area, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff confirmed, adding they've increased surveillance and are co-ordinating with the US. It's the most recent in a series of tests; the week prior, Kim personally oversaw missile launches from a naval destroyer.
