SpaceWar.com reports: “North Korea fired several short-range ballistic missiles into the sea Tuesday, according to Seoul’s military, in what experts said could be a message to US President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration.
The launch comes as Japan’s foreign minister Takeshi Iwaya visits South Korea for a series of meetings with top officials, with the Asian neighbours seeking to boost bilateral ties before Trump returns to office next week.
‘The South Korean military detected several short-range ballistic missiles fired into the East Sea,’ Seoul’s military said, referring to the body of water also known as the Sea of Japan.
It said the launch took place around 09:30 am local time (0030 GMT) near North Korea’s Ganggye area, with the missiles flying 250 kilometres (155 miles) before landing in the sea.
‘The intelligence authorities of South Korea and the US have detected and monitored North Korea’s missile launch preparations in advance, and immediately detected and tracked them at the time of launch,’ the military said…”
