\nThe rogue Communist government of North Korea fired two missiles east into the Sea of Japan early Wednesday local time, South Korea\u2019s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) confirmed.<\/p>\n
North Korea conducted its second weapons test in less than a week Wednesday, firing two short-range ballistic missiles off its east coast. Observers say the move was aimed at putting more pressure on the United States and South Korea to renew the nuclear negotiations. <\/p>\n
U.S. officials said the weapons fired Wednesday were similar to ones launched six days ago \u2013 which were nuclear-capable, and would be difficult for defense systems to track and destroy. The U.S. has had little or no warning of recent North Korean short range tests, a U.S. official said.<\/p>\n
Prior to the current missile tests, Pyongyang had refrained from testing missiles since May.<\/p>\n
The United Nations has placed North Korea under strict economic sanctions in response to its illegal nuclear weapons development, which bans ballistic missile activity. The sanctions have rarely stopped Pyongyang from engaging in illegal military activity, though officials have demanded Western countries lift the sanctions and admitted they have profoundly affected the remains of North Korea\u2019s economy following over half a century of communism.<\/p>\n
South Korea\u2019s JCS told media in the country that they believe the missiles launched Wednesday are short-range ballistic weapons covered by international sanctions. While suggesting they are similar to the weapons believed to have been launched earlier in the week, Seoul\u2019s officials did not confirm the identity of the missiles. The South Korean newspaper JoongAng Ilbo identified the missiles as potentially \u201cdomestically produced variants of the Russian-made 9K720 Iskander missile system.\u201d Seoul believes the missiles were launched from a location near Wonsan, a northern beach town that Kim Jong-un has attempted to turn into a tourist destination with help from China.<\/p>\n
The July 25 missile launch, according to North Korean media, featured a new model of missile that produced a \u201csatisfactory\u201d launch.<\/p>\n
Wednesday\u2019s missiles flew about 155 miles before collapsing into the Sea of Japan (the East Sea in Korea).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
