(UPDATED) SEOUL: North Korea fired at least 10 missiles Wednesday, including one that landed close to South Korea's territorial waters and prompted a rare warning for people on an island to shelter in bunkers.

'The North Korean missile launch is very unusual and unacceptable as it fell close to South Korean territorial waters south of the Northern Limit Line for the first time' since the peninsula was divided, Kang Shin-chul, director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) told reporters.
