N. Korea Fires More Short-Range Missiles Into Sea
South Korea has condemned another round of North Korean short range missile launches, saying two more missiles were fired Monday.
Defense Ministry Spokesman Kim Min-seok said the suspected Scud missiles traveled about 500 kilometers before falling into the Sea of Japan.
“This launch of short-range ballistic missiles was made without prior notice by surprise, and it was an abnormal military move. North Korea is doing an act of double standard by taking a peace offensive ostensibly, but later launching reckless provocative acts. We strongly call for an immediate stop," he said.
North Korea conducted four similar missile launches late last week.
Pyongyang has not commented on the latest launches, which come as Seoul and Washington conduct large-scale joint military exercises. The North views the drills as an unacceptable provocation.
