North Korea fires missiles into sea

On February 8, 2015 North Korea fired five short-range missiles into the sea of its east coast. The missiles were launched between 4:20 p.m. and 5:10 p.m. in their local time, from a city on the eastern coast, Wonsan, while the dictator, Kim Jong Un was observing. According to the South Korea's defence ministry, the missiles flew around 200 kilo meters away from the city and landed into the sea between Japan. The purpose of launching missiles is considered to protest against the military drills planned by South Korea and the United States in the coming weeks. Although the purpose of the missiles was to protest against the military drills between South Korea and the United States, the missiles were actually launched toward Japan, which create a threat not only to South Korea and the United States but, also to Japan as well. http://www.wsj.com/articles/north-korea-fires-missiles-into-sea-1423398448
