N. Korea set to fire short-range missile-Yonhap
SEOUL May 26 (Reuters) - North Korea is ready to fire another short-range missile off its west coast either on Tuesday or Wednesday, Yonhap news agency quoted a South Korean official as saying.
On Monday, the reclusive state tested its second nuclear device and fired off three short-range missiles, earning it international condemnation.
"North Korea declared a ban for ships in the sea off its South Pyongan province between the 25th to 27th (of May). It looks like it will fire a short-range missile between today and tomorrow," it quoted the unnamed official as saying.
