North Korea Fires Two Ballistic Missile A Day After Remembrance for Kim Jong-il

It looks like Kim Jong-un decided to remember his deceased father the best way he knows how, firing missiles:

North Korea fired two ballistic missiles on Sunday morning, South Korea’s military said, days after the regime said it successfully tested a solid-fuel engine for a new weapons system.  
   
Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) told reporters it detected the launch of two medium-range ballistic missiles (MRBM) from Tongchang-ri, North Pyongan Province at 11.13 a.m. and 12.05 p.m., and that the missiles landed in the East Sea.  
   
According to the Japanese Defense Ministry, which also detected the launches, the missiles peaked at an altitude of 550 kilometers (342 miles) and flew approximately 250 kilometers before splashing down outside of Japan’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ).  (…….)

The test came a day after regime leader Kim Jong-un attended a ceremony marking the anniversary of the death of his father and previous leader Kim Jong-il at the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun in Pyongyang, according to the North’s state-controlled Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
