North Korea has fired short-range missiles over the Sea of Japan, according to South Korea’s military. It is happening with six days left until Donald Trump takes office in the White House.
The robots can reach around 250 kilometers and are said to be developed for targets in South Korea, in sharp mode. Now they fell into the sea.
Just before the US presidential election, the North Koreans also test-fired robots. A week ago, what was said to be a supersonic medium-range ballistic robot was shot down.
