VICE News: North Korea Launches Two Missiles in Protest Over US-South Korea Military Drills



North Korea fired two missiles into the sea on Monday, in what is being seen as a protest over the US and South Korea commencing their huge annual war games. Today's incident quickly raised tensions and diplomatic condemnation, in what has become an yearly game of brinksmanship.



"If North Korea takes provocative actions, our military will react firmly and strongly so North Korea will regret it in its bones," said South Korean Defense Minister Kim Min-seok in a press statement.
