North Korea test-fired 30 short-range missiles into the sea on Saturday, the South´s Yonhap news agency said, the latest in a series of launches that have provoked criticism from Seoul and Washington.
The missiles were fired off the North´s east coast into the Sea of Japan (East Sea), Yonhap said, adding the launches began at 4:00 am (1900 GMT Friday).
Yonhap said the missiles were estimated to have flown about 60 kilometres (37 miles).
North korea has fired dozens of missiles into thesea since the start of the Crimean crisis. So what is the message here? Probably ‘don’t forget about us’. But, and this is pushing it, it could also be a message of solidarity with the Russians. I’m sure Kim Jong-il wishes he could just walkright in South Korea and annex it.
