Seoul: N. Korea Fired Short-Range Missiles Into Sea
North Korea fired four suspected short-range missiles into its eastern waters Thursday, South Korean defense officials said, in an apparent effort to protest ongoing U.S.-South Korean military exercises that Pyongyang calls a rehearsal for invasion.
The launches weren’t expected to raise tension as North Korean routinely tests short-range missiles and it has recently sought better ties with South Korea in what outside analysts say is an attempt to win badly-needed foreign investment and aid. The rival Koreas this month held their first reunions of Korean War-divided families in more than three years.
The projectiles that landed off the North’s eastern coast were believed to be short-range missiles with a range of more than 125 miles.
