North Korea Fires Two More Ballistic Missiles Into the East Sea

It appears that North Korea is continuing to test their new short range missile and using the US-ROK joint exercise as cover to do so:

A “new-type tactical guided missile” is launched on Aug. 6, 2019, in this photo released by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on Aug. 7, 2019. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, who watched the firing, said this week’s missile launches were an “adequate warning” against the joint military exercise between South Korea and the United States that kicked off earlier this week, the KCNA said.

North Korea fired yet more unidentified projectiles into the East Sea on Saturday, South Korea’s military said, the latest launch in a series of saber-rattling moves against the current joint exercise between Seoul and Washington.

Two projectiles were fired from near its eastern coastal city of Hamhung in South Hamgyong Province earlier in the day, according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS). No other details were immediately known, including their type, flight range and maximum altitude.

“Our military is monitoring the situation in case of additional launches while maintaining a readiness posture,” the JCS said in a brief release.
