North Korea Fires A Number Of Unidentified Short-Range Missiles Into The Sea Saturday

Daily Mail: North Korea fires a BARRAGE of unidentified short-range missiles amid diplomatic breakdown with US after Trump and 'frustrated' Kim Jong Un's failed nuclear summit

* North Korea fired several unidentified short-range missiles into the sea Saturday
* White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement: 'We are aware of North Korea's actions tonight. We will continue to monitor as necessary'
* If confirmed as firing of banned ballistic missiles, it will be the first such launch since the North's November 2017 test of an intercontinental ballistic missile
* The firing comes amid a diplomatic breakdown that followed the failed nuclear summit earlier this year between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un
* Kim Jong Un said that the North would not test nuclear devices or ICBMs
* A short-range missile would not be against his word but could be a way to register his displeasure with Washington
* They claim to have ballistic missiles that could reach the US mainland and claim to have developed a nuclear bomb small enough to fit on a long-range missile

North Korea on Saturday fired several unidentified short-range missiles from its eastern coast, the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said, a likely sign of Pyongyang's growing frustration at stalled diplomatic talks with Washington over its nuclear arsenal.

Missiles from Hodo peninsula flew for between 70km and 200km before landing in the sea, according to Yonhap News Agency.

South Korean and US authorities are analyzing the details, South Korea's presidential spokeswoman said.

If Saturday's activity in the city of Wonsan around 9am is confirmed as a firing of banned ballistic missiles, it will be the first such launch since the North's November 2017 test of an intercontinental ballistic missile.
