(7 years ago)According to information from the South Korean Army, North Korea has thrown two short - ray ballistic missiles into the waters of the eastern coast. The rockets were launched from Wonsan's area in the early hours of Wednesday morning. This test was the first such action since the [...] meeting.
This test was the first such action since American President Donald Trump's meeting with North Korea leader Kim Jong, on the border between the two Koreas in June of this year.
North Korean authorities said launching these missiles was a solemn warning to Seoul about planned military exercises with American forces.
The communist state has earlier reacted strongly to annual exercises between the United States and South Korea, saying they are preparations for war.
Missiles were launched at 5: 00 a.m. local time. They flew 250 miles [250 km] and reached a height of 30 miles [30 km] before falling into the Sea of Japan, also known as the East Sea.
South Korean Defence Minister Yeong Kyeong-doo said these missiles were of another model compared to missiles released in the past. Meanwhile, Japanese Prime Minister Shino Abe said the missiles have not endangered his country's security, writes “BBC”
