North Korea fired three short-range missiles yesterday as it showcased its military ambitions in defiance of international sanctions and diplomatic efforts to convince the totalitarian state to return to talks.
Kim Jong Un’s regime launched two guided missiles in the morning and a third in the afternoon, all headed northeast into waters off the country’s east coast, South Korean Defense Ministry spokesman Kim Min Seok said by phone yesterday in Seoul. The reason for the action wasn’t clear, he said. South Korea urged the North to stop provocations, Unification Ministry spokesman Kim Hyung Suk said today in a briefing.
South Korea’s President Park Geun Hye hasn’t convened a national security council meeting because the projectiles didn’t appear to be medium-range Musudan missiles, Kim Haing, Park’s spokeswoman, said by phone yesterday. While the South sees no signs of an attack, the military has bolstered its surveillance and maintains a state of high readiness, she said.
The “firing is an attention-seeking act,” Gong Keyu, a researcher at the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies, said in an interview yesterday. “North Korea chose to launch a short-range missile as it knows a longer-range missile would likely antagonize the U.S and that’s something that it doesn’t want to do.”
The firing of the short-range missiles yesterday follows recent rhetoric from the Kim regime threatening nuclear strikes against the U.S. and moving the Musudan to North Korea’s eastern coast. The warnings led the U.S., South Korea andJapan to boost defenses and raised concern in China, the North’s biggest ally.
Potential Threat
“North Korea will achieve nothing by threats or provocations, which only further isolate” the nation and “undermine international efforts to ensure peace and stability in Northeast Asia,” Caitlin Hayden, spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council, said in an e-mail yesterday. “We continue to urge the North Korean leadership to heed President Obama’s call to choose the path of peace and come into compliance with its international obligations.”

Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men; preserve me from violent men, who plan evil things in their heart and stir up wars continually. They make their tongue sharp as a serpent’s, and under their lips is the venom of asps.
Guard me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from violent men, who have planned to trip up my feet. The arrogant have hidden a trap for me, and with cords they have spread a net; beside the way they have set snares for me.
