North Korea launched several cruise missiles into the sea Saturday, South Korea`s military said, extending its weapons testing activities in response to the United States-South Korea summer military drills. South Korea`s military detected the launches early Saturday morning off the North`s west coast, the South`s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.
The statement said South Korean and US intelligence authorities were analyzing details of the launches. It said South Korea has boosted its surveillance posture and maintains a firm military readiness in close coordination with the United States. The launches came two days after the US and South Korean militaries wrapped up their 11-day training exercises that North Korea regards as a rehearsal for invasion. Washington and Seoul officials maintain their drills are defensive.
