(Bloomberg) North Korea fired three short-range missiles yesterday as it showcased its military ambitions in defiance of international sanctions and diplomatic efforts to convince the totalitarian state to return to talks.
Kim Jong Un's regime launched two guided missiles in the morning and a third in the afternoon, all headed northeast into waters off the country's east coast, South Korean Defense Ministry spokesman Kim Min Seok said by phone yesterday in Seoul. The reason for the action was not clear, he said.
