North Korea Fires Ballistic Missile Eastward
Seoul, July 1 (Jiji Press)--North Korea fired a ballistic missile eastward on Monday, South Korea's military said.
The launch came after North Korea fired a ballistic missile on Wednesday.
Pyongyang has criticized the Freedom Edge joint military exercise held by Japan, the United States and South Korea last week as "reckless and provocative military muscle-flexing" against North Korea and warned of "fatal consequences."
On its Wednesday firing, North Korea has claimed to have successfully tested a multiple warhead intermediate-range ballistic missile, but the South Korean military has said the launch ended in failure.
