(LEAD) N. Korea may have fired missiles: S. Korean intelligence official
SEOUL, June 7 (Yonhap) — North Korea may have fired one or two short-range missiles Thursday into the waters off its west coast, a South Korean intelligence official said.
“We are confirming intelligence that North Korea fired short-range missiles into the West Sea,” the official said, on condition of anonymity. “The number of missiles fired today is estimated at one or two.” The launch was largely seen as a test-fire, but it’s not immediately known what type of a missile the North fired from where or at what time.
The test came about two weeks after North Korea fired a short-range guided missile into the East Sea, apparently as part of its military exercises. Some analysts and media said that the missile test may have been a response to South Korea’s launch of its first Aegis-equipped destroyer.
Along with its nuclear weapons program, North Korea’s missile program has posed a constant threat to security in the region. In July last year, the North tested multiple missiles, including a long-range rocket believed to be able to reach as far as the U.S. West Coast, triggering a chorus of international condemnation.
