North Korea fires multiple ballistic missiles into sea — Seoul
SEOUL North Korea test-fired multiple short-range ballistic missiles on Su
Sunday, South Korea's military said, the latest in a recent flurry of launc
launches by the nuclear-armed state.

Our military detected several short-range ballistic missiles fired into the
the East Sea from the Sinpo area of North Korea at around 610 a.m. (GMT 21
2110).
The missiles flew approximately 140 kilometers (86.9 miles), and South Kore
Korean and US intelligence authorities are conducting a detailed analysis o
of their exact specifications.

Seoul is maintaining a firm combined defense posture with the United Stat
States — a security ally that stations about 28,000 troops in the South to 
help it defend against military threats from the North — and will respond 
overwhelmingly to any provocation, it said.
South Korea's presidential office said it held an emergency security meetin
meeting over the launches.

Analysts said the tests signaled Pyongyang's latest rejection of attempts b
by Seoul to repair strained ties.

Among them was an expression of regret from Seoul over civilian drone incur
incursions into the North in January, a gesture initially described as ver
very fortunate and wise behavior by Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of t
the North Korean leader.

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
