North Korea 'Test-Fired Short-Range Missile' -- The Telegraph
North Korea test-fired one short-range missile off its west coast last week, a day after South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak held a top-level security meeting, a report said on Thursday.
The surface-to-ship missile was fired into the Yellow Sea on September 27 and travelled an estimated 50-55 miles, South Korea's Yonhap news agency quoted a Seoul government source as saying.
"The test-firing could be a part of the North's routine efforts to improve their capabilities and range, but there was an assessment that it could be a reaction to our government's movement," the source was quoted as saying.
On September 26 Lee and his top security officials urged North Korea to halt any attempt to sway South Korea's presidential election in December. They reiterated their vow strongly to punish the North for any provocations.
The North frequently conducts such short-range tests but their timing sometimes coincides with periods of tension.
