The United States Pacific Command has revised its assessment of the latest North Korean missile launches, saying that two of three projectiles fired by the North on Saturday morning did not fail in flight.

The Pacific Command said earlier that two of the missiles had “failed in flight,” but later said that the two missiles had not failed and flew about 250 kilometers before falling into the East Sea.

The command maintained its assessment on the third missile, saying that it appears to have blown up immediately after launch.

The U.S. media reported that the command appears to have revised its assessment after a joint analysis with the South Korean military.

The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff announced that North Korea launched unidentified projectiles from Gangwon Province at around 6:49 a.m. Saturday into the East Sea and the projectiles traveled around 250 kilometers.

The U.S. Pacific Command assessed the projectiles as short-range ballistic missiles, but South Korea’s presidential office presumed the North fired them using its new 300-millimeter long-range multiple rocket launch system.

The White House said that U.S. President Donald Trump received the related briefing from the U.S. military.
