North Korea has fired several missiles, South Korea has blamed
North Korea fired several artillery shells between 8:07 a.m. and 11:03 a.m. local time today, the South Korean military said in a show of force a day after leader Kim Jong Un vowed to step up the retreating nation's military. transmits Reuters.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff did not provide further details, but said he had decided to issue a statement late in the evening because the shots were of a traditional, relatively short range and low altitude.
The artillery shelling comes after Kim on Saturday unveiled targets for strengthening the country's military power and defense research to protect North Korea's sovereign rights, as a plenary meeting of the Workers' Party of Korea's Central Committee concluded last week.
