North Korea fires two short-range ballistic missiles in ‘nuclear strike drill’

North Korea has said it fired two short-range ballistic missiles as part of a “tactical nuclear strike drill” prompted by US-South Korean military exercises, state media reported Thursday.

The missile launches — first reported by the South Korean military — came amid Washington and Seoul’s annual Ulchi Freedom Shield exercises, which always infuriate Pyongyang.—AFP
