NORTH KOREA – This country fired two projectiles which South Korean officials said “appear as a new type of short-range missile.”
The launch was the third in just over a week that came from North Korea’s east coast on Friday.
The string of tests was seen as a reaction to planned military exercises between the South Korea and the United States.
The latest launches happened around 02:59 (17:59 GMT Thursday) and 03:23 local time from the Yonghung area in South Hamgyong province into the Sea of Japan, according to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff.(BBC)
