#N Korea fires '2 short-range ballistic missiles' today

Seoul, July 13 (IBNS): North Korea on Sunday fired two short-range ballistic missiles into its eastern waters, the South Korean Military said.

"North Korea fired short-range ballistic missiles on two occasions, first at around 1:20 a.m. and then around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday," an official with the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) was quoted as saying by Yonhap News Agency.
