                North Korea Launches 16 Rockets from East Coast

   North Korea has conducted a second day of short-range rocket launches,
   apparently to protest joint military exercises between South Korea and
   the United States.
   South Korea`s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the North fired 16 short-range
   rockets into its eastern waters in the early hours of Sunday, following
   similar launches of 30 rockets early Saturday.
   A South Korean military spokesman said the rockets have a range of
   about 60 kilometers, adding that they were old versions of Russian-made
   unguided FROG rockets.
   Analysts say the launches are an expression of Pyongyang`s anger at
   ongoing annual South Korean - U.S. military drills, which run until
   next month.
   The North routinely criticizes the drills, saying they are rehearsals
   for an invasion.
