NKorea 'fires two short-range missiles'


SEOUL (AFP) — North Korea Thursday fired two short-range missiles, fuelling tensions

sparked by its nuclear standoff, as a US team began talks in China on ways to make UN

sanctions bite against Pyongyang.

The missiles were launched in the early evening from a base near the eastern port of

Wonsan, South Korea's defence ministry said.

"They appear to be ground-to-ship missiles, which were launched into the East Sea (Sea of

Japan)," a spokesman told AFP.

"We have no detailed information now but there have been preparations for missile

launches in the region."
