TOKYO (AP) - There are reports from Japan that North Korea has conducted another missile test.
Kyodo News agency says the North fired several short-range missiles toward the Sea of Japan today. It cites Japanese and American sources.
North Korea test-fired a series of missiles last summer, including its latest long-range model, which experts believe could reach parts of the United States.
The North rattled the world in October with its first nuclear weapons test. But experts don't believe it has a nuclear bomb advanced enough to be put on a missile.

| Why don't the NK shoot the missiles on the other side of the peninsula towards China? |

Because they don't like Japan.

Either through his will, or through the will of the intelligence or military services, while he's alive or after his death, hear this: NK will nuke Japan and then surrender to the South before anyone can retaliate . |

| I don't think surrendering would save them. |

| According to various news sources, the missle launches were not unexpected as NK usually fires off a few this time of year as part of an annual military expercise... And, they launched little league rockets not their long-range missiles. Should be minimal, if any, blowback from this one. |
