According to South Korean intelligence, North Korea has fired 4 short range surface-to-ship missiles into the east sea.
Also, it is reported a long range missile is being prepared for imminent launch.
North Korea has recently warned all ships to stay away from it’s waters, possibly because of these tests or a usual show of international defiance.
It has been reported that US spy satellites have been witness to increased activity at the North Korean site that is used for long range missile tests and South Korean sources say that a long range missile was seen being transported by train near Pyongyang recently.
Recently, North Korea has tested a long range missile (potentially capable of reaching Alaska and Hawaii), several short range (capable of reaching Japan), and an underground nuclear explosion.
This comes amid extremely high tensions between the international community and North Korea. North Korea has been extremely aggressive with it’s words and, not so long ago, a US army general said the US was ready for a conventional war with North Korea.
