North Korea test-fires missiles again

North Korea fired two short-range Scud missiles into its eastern waters Sunday, a South Korean official said, in an apparent test just days after the country tested what it called new precision-guided missiles.

A South Korean military official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, citing department rules, said the missiles were fired from Wonsan and are presumed to be short-range Scud ballistic missiles.

The official added that the military is determining what kind of Scud missiles the projectiles were.

Pyongyang's missile program as reported by BBC News:

Mainly been developed from the Scud, first supplied via Egypt in 1976.

Developed home-grown Scud in mid-1980s.

Went on to develop Nodong medium-range missile, with range of 1,000km.

Currently working on multi-stage Taepodong missiles with range of up to 6,000km.

Successfully put an object into space in December 2012 using a three-stage rocket based on Taepodong technology.
