SEOUL, Aug. 26 (Yonhap) -- North Korea launched at least three ballistic missiles into the East Sea on Saturday morning, according to South Korean and U.s. militaries.

The North fired "several unidentified projectiles" from the vicinity Gitdaeryong in Gangwon Province starting at around 6:49 a.m., said the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS).

Some of those flew more than 250 kilometers in the northeastern direction, it added.

The U.S. Pacific Command (PACOM) also said, "Initial assessment indicates three short-range ballistic missile launches."

"The first and third missiles at 11:49 a.m. (Hawaii time) and 12:19 p.m. failed in flight," the PACOM's spokesman Cdr. David Benham said in an emailed statement. "The second missile launch at 12:07 p.m. appears to have blown up almost immediately."

The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) determined the three ballistic missile launches from North Korea did not pose a threat to North America, he added.

South Korea and U.S. armed forces are conducing their annual joint drills, called Ulchi Freedom Guardian (UFG), in Korea.

The North's provocation was immediately reported to President Moon Jae-in, added the JCS.

The presidential office Cheong Wa Dae convened a National Security Council meeting to discuss the issue.

On a lighter note.
This weekend I'm going to two beer festivals. :2 cents:

Yeah they can launch anytime but they can't reach the target.

Good...they should do tests because mercenary invaders are never far away...

What is Trump going to do to stop this?

If North Korea does the unthinkable and actually nukes the United States or a territory...

...oh boy...

If that happens, we need to reach out to North Korea, and try to sympathize with them. And have understanding. Hopefully it will encourage us to have dialog amongst ourselves as to why we're so racist to Asians. And perhaps we can somehow find a way to move beyond our bigotry, and be nice to Asians.

NK will be blown

here is some nice anti invader propaganda released by N korea:

he really should stop, especially before Trump starts playing with his toys too :2 cents:

Meantime, there are drought conditions in North Korea and the army is underfed and not prepared to fight is the news being reported.

So, fat-boy sends a missile message out while his army starves. Living the lie :2 cents:

Now revised that yes all three were successful just USA military propaganda got caught out lying to Americans again.

Of course these missiles are no threat to the USA, because the North Koreans would never put them on merchant boats floating in international waters, 12 miles off the USA coast and they most certainly would never think of arming them with chemical and biological warheads.

Trump? Stop this?

First he needs to stop himself from compulsively running off at the mouth on Twitter. Once he masters that skill it may be possible to solve a geo-political conundrum that's stumped men with much superior intellect for decades.

Unlike Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, etc. Who all did nothing. No one develops Nuclear Missile capabilities in a few months.

I take it you are joking.

Tighter sanctions and bring them to bear on China if China refuses to drop this maniac and his regime. They number a few hundred and bringing the world to the brink of a war. They should not be allowed to carry on.

send rodman with a suicide bomb kill that fat a hole

I thought trump (I am not longer going to capitalize his name) was going to stop North Korea from launching missiles? Sigh. Another promise broken.

and all 3 failed.

No that's what the military initially said... but then withdrew comment to three successes

We (USA) should start shooting potato guns at North Korea -- offer to supply 1000 MacKims restaurants if North Korea surrenders all its missiles and nuclear facilities.

If that UN report is right we should leverage the situation. On the other hand, maybe North Koreans will become cannibals ...

So best to say nothing as Obama did.

Kim wants Trump to strike first.

Kim will break any treaty.

As will China & Russia

Trump has already withdrawn from or refused to commit to a few treaties -- you can add the USA to your list too. NAFTA is next -- we will see.

Historically, the USA broke every treaty made with the Native American tribes in the 1800's.

So who speaks with forked tongue?

Ok, I'll remind you when you do. :thumbsup

Friday night I partied with Pennywise at a beer release they had.

What would you have him do? I seem to recall you are an ex-marine, so you must have an opinion.

Trump's fault?

They can't break economic sanctions.

Is that double talk for do nothing?

it really pisses me off that n/korea did 1/1000000000th of the missile launches that the USA does :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I mean how dare they arm up against invaders :mad::mad::mad::mad:
