"We have to make the assumption that they continue to learn throughout each one of these missile launches," Manning said. "You're still firing missiles, so that's a threat." Three missiles were launched from Kittaeryong on North Korea’s east coast over the weekend, according to US Pacific Command (PACOM). Two of the missiles reportedly flew some 155 miles in the northeastern direction while the third one went kaboom!almost immediately.
