North Korea has test-fired two
short-range ballistic missiles into the sea and warned of "merciless
strikes" against its enemies in response to annual military exercises
between South Korea and the United States.
The
firing on Monday came hours before the US-South Korean military exercises were
scheduled to begin, drills which the North denounces as a preparation for war.
The
missiles hit the sea early on Monday morning after travelling about 490km,
according to South Korea's defence ministry.
