NEW: North Korea fires two short range missiles into the East Sea, the twelfth launch this year alone.
North Korea fired two short range missiles into the East Sea Thursday afternoon local time. The flight distance was 230 miles with the highest altitude of 55 miles, according to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"The projectiles were fired from areas in South Pyongan Province," and “our military is monitoring the situation in case of additional launches and maintaining a readiness posture," said the Joint Chiefs of Staff in a brief release. This is the twelfth launch this year alone. The latest missile test earlier this month was particularly alarming as North Korea fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile from an underwater platform which analysts say could be a direct threat to the United States. That missile, in theory, could also carry a nuclear warhead.
