Let's start with Pyongyang's latest provocation... North Korea fired two more short-range missiles
off its eastern coast on this Monday morning... just a matter of days after it fired four
short-range missiles from the same location. South Korea's Defense Ministry said the North
launched two Scud missiles into the East Sea at around 6:20 a.m, Korea time... and that
the missiles flew at least 500 kilometers. The missile launch comes amid Seoul and Washington's
annual joint military exercises that Pyongyang opposes.
A South Korean official said this latest string of missile launches may be North Korea's attempt
to ratchet up military tensions against the joint military drills, and that Seoul is keeping
a close eye in case of any additional provocations.
