North Korea tests short-range missiles into East Sea

North Korea has fired several short-range missiles into the sea off its east coast early today, South Korea and the US military said, as the two allies conducted annual joint military drills that the North denounces as preparation for war.
       
The US military's Pacific Command said it had detected three short-range ballistic missiles, fired over a 20 minute period.

All of the missiles failed, with one blowing up almost immediately after launch, while two others failed in flight, it added.
         
The South Korean Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said the projectiles were launched from the North's eastern Kangwon province and flew in a northeasterly direction about 250 km into the sea.
