North Korea has fired short-range missiles off its east coast for the second time in a week. The move yesterday drew condemnation from Washington and Seoul as the allies held joint military exercises. South Korea called Mondays missile launches a reckless provocation while the United States demanded the North show restraint and abide by UN Security Council resolutions. The United States is closely monitoring the situation. The missile tests have clearly been timed to coincide with annual South Korea-US military exercises that started a week ago and run until mid-April. The two missiles flew around 500 kilometres into the Sea of Japan, according to South Koreas Defence Ministry. Four short-range missiles were fired in similar fashion on Thursday. Washington said the missile tests breached UN resolutions that require Pyongyang to abandon its ballistic missile programme. newstalkzb.co.nz/auckland/news/nbint/465823501-more-missiles-from-north-korea
