                   North Korea Fires Short-range Projectiles

   by VOA News

   North Korea has fired several short-range projectiles into the sea off
   the country's east coast.

   South Korean officials say the projectiles were launched Monday from
   the eastern city of Hamhung.

   The officials did not say what type of missiles or rockets may have
   been fired.

   Last week South Korean officials said the North fired medium-range
   missiles into the sea in defiance of U.N. sanctions.

   North Korea has been threatening for weeks to initiate preemptive
   nuclear strikes against Washington and Seoul to protest South
   Korea-U.S. military drills.  The North sees the drills as a rehearsal
   for a military invasion.
