Norks attack ocean with two missiles
2014-06-30
They succeeded, too...
North Korea fired two projectiles Sunday that "appear to be short-range missiles" into the sea off the eastern coast of the Korean Peninsula, a South Korean Defense Ministry official told CNN. The launch took place shortly before 5 a.m. (4 p.m. ET Saturday), according to the official. The projectiles' estimated range is 500 kilometers (about 300 miles).

A U.S. State Department official reacted to Saturday's launch, telling CNN, "We call on North Korea to refrain from taking provocative actions and instead fulfill its international obligations and commitments."

This is the second reported launch by North Korea in recent days. On Thursday, U.S. and South Korean government officials reported North Korea had launched three projectiles from its southeastern coast.
