North Korea fires missiles as US-South Korea drills begin

 
 North Korea fired two short-range missiles into the sea as annual US-South Korea military exercises got under way. The South Korean military said  that the two missiles, with a range of 490kilometre were fired from the western city of Nampo into the sea east of the Korean peninsula.The drills, involving tens of thousands of troops, always anger Pyongyang. It traditionally shows its displeasure with missile tests and louder rhetoric. Seoul and Washington describe the military exercises as defensive in nature, while North Korea calls them a rehearsal for invasion. Defence Minister Kim Min-seok vowed a stern response to any provocation.
