“North Korea again launched a short range projectile that appears to be a KN-02 missile.”-Republic of Korea Defense Ministry

“The launches are part of ordinary drills.  We are exercising our legitimate right as a sovereign nation.”-Democratic People’s Republic of Korea statement

South Korean officials say all the missiles launched over the past three days, traveled about 120 kilometers (74.5 miles).  That’s the range claimed by North Korea for its new KN-02 short range ballistic missile.  DPRK also claims they can arm the KN-02 with tactical nukes.

The DPRK recently slammed the United States saying the rhetoric coming from Washington DC “…reminds one of a thief crying ‘Stop the thief!'”
