North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles on Friday morning, in the latest test launch that comes after a meeting of the foreign ministers of the United States, Japan and South Korea, who pledged to strengthen their deterrence in the region.
The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff stated - according to the American "Al-Hurra" channel - that "the two short-range ballistic missiles were launched from the Tongchon area of Kangwon Province on the eastern coast of North Korea, four days after the two countries fired warning shots off the western coast amid escalating tension."
The Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, warned yesterday that the world is holding its breath before a possible nuclear test by North Korea, which would be a new confirmation that Pyongyang's nuclear program is advancing at full capacity.
