SEOUL: North Korea fired at least two unidentified projectiles early on Thursday from an area near Wonsan, on North Korea's eastern coast, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said.AdvertisementThe characteristics of their flight, including the range, was similar to North Korea's last missile tests in May, analysts said.
A senior US administration official said: “We are aware of reports of a short-range projectile launched from North Korea. We have no further comment.”The United States and North Korea vowed to soon hold new rounds of working-level talks, but since then North Korea has sharply criticised upcoming joint military drills by US and South Korean troops.
“North Korea is clearly upset that the US and South Korea are conducting joint military exercises," said Harry Kazianis of Washington's Centre for the National Interest.North Korea's last weapons testing was in May, which included both short-range missiles as well as smaller rockets. At the time, Kim oversaw the first flight of a previously untested weapon - a relatively small, fast missile experts believe will be easier to hide, launch and manoeuvre in flight.
