Fox News
North Korea fired off short-range missiles over the weekend after it denounced the U.S. for moving forward with joint military exercises with South Korea, Fox News has confirmed.
None of the missiles fired were the new long-range ballistic missiles paraded on Oct. 10, the anniversary of the founding of North Korea’s communist party, officials told Fox News. The short-range missiles did not contain nuclear warheads. Pentagon officials who watch North Korea took note of the launch but were not alarmed. The launch came just a short time after Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had visited Seoul. Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, issued a warning to the U.S. on the heels of the visit.More Related News
