North Korea Fires Ballistic Missiles: South Korea

South Korean officials said Pyongyang fired two Scud-type missiles on Thursday

North Korea fired two ballistic missiles Thursday morning, according to a South Korean military official.

The two missiles — believed by analysts to be Scud-type missiles — flew about 310 miles and were fired from North Korea’s northern shore, NBC News reported.

The apparent launch comes after heated rhetoric from North Korea, which included threats of a preemptive strike.

North Korea was hit with sanctions by the United Nations after the country conducted a nuclear test on Jan. 6 and launched a long-range rocket on Feb. 6.
