North Korea fired approximately 10 short-range ballistic missiles from the Sunan area near Pyongyang on March 14, 2026. The projectiles traveled roughly 350 kilometers eastward toward the Sea of Japan, coinciding with the Freedom Shield military exercises conducted jointly by the United States and South Korea.

This salvo constitutes one of North Korea’s largest single-day launch events in recent memory.
