North Korea fires missiles amid US drills with South Korea

North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles into the sea on Wednesday, according to South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff, and reported by media in Seoul.

The incident comes amid joint military exercises conducted by the United States and South Korea.

Indeed, analysts in South Korea have suggested that the missile launches were seen as a sign of protest against the drills by Washington and Seoul.

On Tuesday, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un said military exercises had turned the Korean peninsula into "the world's largest concentration of war equipment".

Wednesday's missiles were fired into the Sea of ??Japan shortly before midnight, Seoul's military said, adding that it was still analyzing the exact nature of the missiles fired by Pyongyang, South Korea's Yonhap News Agency reported.

"As we strengthen our monitoring and vigilance against additional provocations, our military is maintaining a full posture of readiness in close cooperation with the United States," Seoul's joint chiefs said in a text message to reporters.

Pyongyang has conducted a record number of weapons tests this year.

Earlier on Wednesday, the United States flew at least one B-1B bomber for a joint aerial training exercise with other South Korean and US warplanes, flying over the Korean Peninsula./ CNA
