probably not the results they were hoping for ! I'm guessing there will be an onslaught of sanctions leveled against them !
SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea, defiant in the face of international
condemnation of its latest nuclear test, fired two short-range missiles
off its east coast on Tuesday and accused the United States of plotting
against its government.
In a move certain to compound tensions in the region, South Korea
said it would join a U.S.-led initiative to intercept ships suspected
of carrying weapons of mass destruction, something Pyongyang has warned
it would consider a declaration of war.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency quoted a government source in Seoul
as saying the North had test-fired one surface-to-air and one
surface-to-ship missile off of its east coast. The missiles had a range
of about 130 km (80 miles).
The North fired off three short-range missiles on Monday.
Monday's nuclear test, the North's second after one in 2006, drew sharp rebuke from regional powers, and U.S. President Barack Obama called Pyongyang's atomic arms program a threat to international security.
