North Korea 'fires short-range rockets' into ocean

North Korea has let go a few short-go rockets into the waters off its east drift, South Korea's Yonhap news office says.

The dispatches come three days after South Korea said the north let go a medium-range rocket into the ocean interestingly since 2014.

Washington and Seoul are leading joint military drills, which North Korea sees as a practice for intrusion.

The US a week ago forced new endorses on the north.

The new authorizes were because of North Korea's atomic test on 6 January and its satellite dispatch on 7 February, which abused existing UN sanctions.

South Korea's military was attempting to discover what sorts of rocket had been included in the most recent dispatches, Yonhap reported.

The rockets were said to have been let go from the northeastern city of Hamhung.

On Friday North Korea test-let go two ballistic rockets.

US authorities said the medium-range rockets, dispatched off the east drift, flew around 800km (500 miles) before falling into the water.

A short time later, the US called for Pyongyang to shun raising pressures.
