North Korea fired two short-range missiles off its west coast on Thursday believed to be part of a test to upgrade capabilities, Reuters reported.
North Korea has raised tensions in recent weeks by announcing it would launch a rocket to put a satellite into orbit, but regional powers are urging Pyongyang to drop the plan, saying it would violate UN Security Council resolutions.
North Korea launched two short-range missiles believed to be surface-to-ship missiles from its west coast Thursday morning, South Korea’s Chosun Ilbo newspaper quoted government officials as saying.
“The launch is believed to be to upgrade missile capabilities and not related directly to the North’s long-range missile launch,” the newspaper quoted a military official as saying.
