North Korea warns South Korea with ballistic missiles as Seoul calls for talks to ease border tensions

North Korea fired around a dozen short-range ballistic missiles towards the sea on Thursday, South Korea’s military said, a day after Seoul renewed its call for talks to prevent accidental clashes along their heavily fortified border. The missiles were launched from the eastern coastal area of Wonsan at about 12.30pm local time and travelled around 250 kilometres, according to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff. South Korea said it had stepped up surveillance for further launches and was sharing information with the United States and Japan.
