North Korea has fired another two short-range missiles into the sea in what appears to be a show of displeasure at the US-South Korea war games continuing across the border, reports Reuters. The missiles—from the same Scud class as those North Korea fired a few days ago—were fired from the country's east coast and traveled around 300 miles, according to Yonhap. Defense officials say that firing into the sea counts as a "low-level provocation," but still "worrisome." (More North Korea stories.)
