SEOUL, South Korea – A South Korean news agency says North Korea has test-fired two more short-range missiles.
The Yonhap news agency says North Korea test-fired a total of three short-range missiles Monday after declaring that it successfully conducted a nuclear test.
Yonhap did not provide further details and did not name its source.
South Korea's military declined to confirm the reports, saying it does not comment on intelligence matters.

This was to be expected. Once they had the big nuke blast, they would launch multiple short range missiles into the Sea of Japan to escalate it. I doubt they are even finished launching for today, but then again, it is getting dark out there.
Oops, you are already here! I just sent a link to you on another thread:)
Damn, not looking good and the U.S. after all these years has not done anything to confront NK regarding their nuke and missile tests.
I just hope that we have given SK and Japan our best ABM’s.
And while Kim Jong-il is a Nut Case, I do not think he is crazy enough to fire a nuke into Red China.
Obama is concerned..., again....
I believe that the Obama administration is going to be stuck with some foreign affair business that it really doesn’t care for. North Korea is basically going to push Japan into modernizing its entire military structure...which the Chinese will not be happy about, and several Pacific nations will begin to ask themselves if they need to rearm as well.
I think Woon is flexing his meager muscles.
Didn’t they time their last tests for the Fourth of July weekend? I don’t believe in coincidence. They want to spoil some holiday weekends in the Pentagon and over in Langley. Even if you’re not particularly alarmed, you still have to come into work.
With the world now a tinderbox, it's a great time to shove a communist agenda down America's collective throat to divert everyone's attention.
Of course not, he's not about the hand that (literally) feeds him.
Kim Jong-Il is doing nothing more than China's bidding. If he weren't, China would be all up in arms over the latest Nuke and missile tests. The proof is in the pudding on this one. Look how China protects NK at the Useless Nations, and their abysmal participation in the Six-Party talks.
China's no more interested in stopping North Korea from their pursuits than the Obama Administration is in getting Iran to stop their nuclear program.
Am I the only person on here who thinks this?

OOps! Sorry about the double post.
It’s a good thing Barry’s not going to waste any money on unproven technology like missle defense.
You’re not the only one. And that makes two of us!
And the magic mulatto’s response....crickets
The undocumented Kenyan sees all these pesky disruptions as distractions from his priority #1: cramming universal healthcare down our throats. I almost hope that more of these two-bit dictators will act up and preoccupy Zero—at least until the 2010 elections when maybe some of his domestic idiocy can be stopped.
