North Korea fires two short-range ballistic missiles

North Korea said it fired two short-range ballistic missiles as part of a 'tactical nuclear strike drill' prompted by US-South Korean military exercises, state media reported Thursday.

The launches came hours after Washington deployed B-1B bombers for combined air drills with Seoul and a day before the allies wrap up their annual Ulchi Freedom Shield exercises, which always infuriate Pyongyang.
