North Korea fired three ballistic missiles early on Tuesday into the sea off its east coast that had a range of between 500 and 600 kilometres (300 and 360 miles), South Korea's military said.
The missiles were launched towards east from an area in the North's western region called Hwangju from 5:45 a.m. local time (2045 GMT Monday) to 6:40 a.m., the South's military said.
"The ballistic missiles flight went from 500 kilometres to 600 kilometres, which is a distance far enough to strike all of South Korea including Busan," the South's military said in a statement.
Busan is a South Korean port city in the south.

And obama golfs. As the world is getting no hope and no diaper change as he promised
ReplyDeleteWe went to war and lost thousands in Iraq over a third world tin pot dictator we SAID had "weapons of mass destruction" and was crazy enough to use them.He HAD to be stopped!!
ReplyDeleteAfter we screwed THAT up in ways only we could, we then, in a fit of wild abandon, GIVE another third world dictator in the area permission to build them, despite his own pronouncements to use them ASAP against one of our greatest allies..
In the meantime, in our relentless effort to stop dictators in third world nuthouses from getting and using nuclear weapons, and proving we are willing to go to war, uh, er, I mean, "conflict" to stop that, North Korea builds them, tests them, and tells us their eventual goal is to hit the USA with one (or several).
We start whistling, don't make eye contact, and slowly back away.
The North Koreans laugh hysterically.
Keep cheering.
