OSAN, South Korea (Reuters) - North Korea has fired two surface-to-air missiles off its west coast, South Korea said on Thursday, with the latest in a string of short-range firings by the North coming shortly before the U.S. defence secretary arrived in the region.
The two short-range missiles were fired on Tuesday, South Korea's defence ministry said, and followed the launch on Friday of four short-range missiles off the west coast of North Korea.
