I hope this isn't the next phase of sabre rattling

North Korea has fired three short-range missiles from its east coast, South Korea's defence ministry said.
Two missiles were fired on Saturday morning and one in the afternoon, the ministry said in a statement.
Officials at the ministry said they were "monitoring the situation and remain on alert".
The launches come at a time of stalemate between the two neighbours following weeks of high tension earlier this year.

Awesome! Every time they launch, we get to learn more about the missiles.

I appreciate when adversaries give us technical information for free.

Man he must be T-off loosing top billing on the news by popping off three of them. Hey kim, what ever your bloody name is you failed to get on the TV news.

Saw this in an article about the launches-

"On Monday, North Korean state media showed that the country's hard-line defense minister had been replaced by a little-known army general. Outside analysts said it was part of leader Kim Jong Un's efforts to tighten his grip on the powerful military after his father Kim Jong Il died in December 2011"

I am glad little Kimmy is having fun with his model rocketry set.

You think the adults (Russia/China/USA) can talk? Maybe you should go over there and play with your GI Joe trainset, while real men with hair on their genitals, talk politics. OK?

He is a laughing stock. He pulls out every toy he has. The USA shows up with a carrier. Sends two long range nuke aircraft to buzz them. Kim quietly puts his toys away.
