TEHRAN, August 24 -North Korea has launched two “unidentified projectiles” toward the ocean off its eastern coast, South Korean military says, in the latest in a series of launches by Pyongyang amid the gridlocked nuclear talks with the United States.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC) _North Korea has fired at least two unidentified projectiles into the sea off its east coast, shortly after it denounced South Korea’s military drills with the US and declared that inter-Korean talks were over.
The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff [JCS] said the North conducted the launch early on Friday from a site near the city of Tongchon. It has conducted six rounds of weapons launches since 25 July, apparently in retaliation for military drills involving South Korean and US forces.
Before the launch, North Korea’s Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Country called South Korean president Moon Jae-in an “impudent guy” who is “overcome with fright” and rejected his earlier talk of unifying the Korean Peninsula.
“We have nothing more to talk about with the South Korean authorities and we have no desire to sit down with them again,” it said in a statement run by the KCNA state news agency.
