Sharjah24 – AFP: North Korea fired two cruise missiles Wednesday, Seoul's defence ministry said, ending a month-long lull in Pyongyang's record-breaking spate of weapons tests this year.
"Early this morning, we detected that North Korea fired two cruise missiles into the West Sea from Onchon, South Pyongan province," a ministry official told AFP.
"The US and South Korean military authorities are analysing detailed specifications such as flight distance."
North Korea has not tested a cruise missile -- which are not banned under United Nations sanctions on the country -- since January, the Yonhap News Agency reported.
The last time Pyongyang conducted a weapons test was July 10, when they fired what appeared to be multiple rocket launchers.
