SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea fired two short-range missiles into the Yellow Sea on Tuesday in an operation considered part of regular military training, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported on Wednesday.
"We understand North Korea fired two short-range missiles in the afternoon of the (October) 7th into the (Yellow) Sea," Yonhap quoted an unidentified South Korean official as saying. "The launch appears to be part of usual military drills."
Regional powers are trying to salvage a six-country deal to end North Korea's nuclear program after Pyongyang said it would stop disabling its nuclear facilities and would start rebuilding them.
South Korea's Defense Ministry declined to confirm the report.
"North Korea declared a no-sail order in the (Yellow Sea) before the missile launch," the official was quoted as saying.
