Bloomberg: North Korea Fires Short-Range Missiles in Apparent Failed Test

North Korea fired three short-range ballistic missiles on Saturday morning that appeared to fail, a move that came after Kim Jong Un’s regime strongly criticized U.S.-South Korea joint military drills.

An initial assessment indicated that two of the missiles failed in flight, while the other appeared to have blown up immediately, U.S. Pacific Command said in a statement. The launches occurred near Kittaeryong in eastern North Korea, with the first fired at 6:49 a.m. local time. Military authorities said they didn’t pose a threat to North America or Guam.
