South Korea's military said the DPRK has fired unidentified short-range projectiles off its east coast, the third such launch in about a week. Seoul said the projectiles were fired during early hours on Friday, from Yonghung, South Hamgyong Province, into the East Sea. The Repblic of Korea's (ROK) military said both of the projectiles flew a distance of about 220 kilometers at an approximate altitude of 25 kilometers. U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he had "no problem" with DPRK's recent ballistic missiles tests. Teng Jianqun, the director of the Center of Arms Control at the China Institute of International Studies said the DPRK is testing political will of the U.S. and the ROK.
