North Korea fires 2 missiles in tests condemned by neighbors

Description

North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles toward its eastern waters on Monday in a widely condemned weapons test that prompted Tokyo to request an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council. The firings follow an intercontinental ballistic missile launch Saturday and North Korea’s threats to take an unprecedentedly strong response to US-South Korean military drills that the North views as an invasion rehearsal.
