Seoul, South Korea (CNN) -- North Korea has fired 10 short-range rockets, two South Korean defense officials said Sunday.
The rockets were fired from the eastern coast of the Korean peninsula toward the Sea of Japan, according to the officials, who asked not to be identified by name as a matter of security protocol.
"We estimate the rockets traveled about 70 kilometers in the open waters," one of the officials said.
