Breaking: North Korea has fired 'a barrage' of unidentified short-range missiles toward the ocean, according to the South Korean military

North Korea has fired "a barrage" of unidentified short-range missiles toward the ocean, according to the South Korean military.

The North "fired multiple rounds of unidentified missiles from its east coast town of Wonsan in the north-eastern direction between 9.06am [10.06am AEST] and 9.27am today," the JCS said in a statement according to the Yonhap news agency. They flew for a range of about 70 to 100 kilometres, the JCS said, adding that South Korean and US authorities were analysing details of the missiles.The South Korean Defence Ministry was not available for comment.North Korea has not completely halted weapons testing, despite protracted on-again-off-again negotiations with the US government and diplomatic efforts by South Korea and China.," state media reported.

While the description suggests the weapon wasn't a nuclear device or intercontinental ballistic missile, the test sends a pointed message to the US and its allies in South Korea about the risk of allowing denuclearisation talks to fall apart.

South Africa celebrates Freedom Day | Sky News AustraliaSouth Africa has celebrated its Freedom Day, marking 25 years since the first post-apartheid election. \n\nThe 1994 poll allowed people of all races to vote for the first time, and saw Nelson Mandela rise to power. \n why is south Africa not embracing and working together now then? and why is their Govt encouraging people to attack and kill people on farms due to the colour of their skin? Still a shithole How sad that in those same 25 years SA has descended into the corruption so rife in the ruling classes of Africa. Not what Mandela would have wished for.
