North Korea fired multiple cruise missiles off its east coast on Wednesday, as South Korea and the U.S. held joint military exercises, according to the South Korean military.

The test comes just days after North Korea said a missile it launched on Monday was fired as a simulated nuclear attack on South Korea, as North Korean leader Kim Jong Un continues to respond to what he sees as growing aggression from the South and its allies.

The South Korean military said it could not confirm how many missiles were fired on Wednesday or what type they were, but said they were fired toward the Sea of Japan.

The “aggression” that the North Korean leader points to is the joint military exercises between the U.S. and its Asian allies, including South Korea and Japan. The U.S. has sought to strengthen those ties as tensions in the region flare.
