SEOUL — North Korea test-fired two Scud missiles on Saturday, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said, raising the stakes in its military moves and further stoking regional tensions already high due to its nuclear test in May.
If the report is accurate, the launch would mark an escalation by the reclusive North, which has fired several non-ballistic, short-range missile since the May 25 nuclear test. Reclusive North Korea is barred by United Nations resolutions from firing ballistic missiles such as the Scud.

"North Korea fired two missiles, which appeared to be a Scud type," Yonhap quoted an anonymous South Korean official as saying. "The missiles are estimated to have the range of about 500 km (310 miles)."

A South Korean Defense Ministry source said the North fired two missiles off its east coast that traveled for about 400 km, which would indicate it fired ballistic missiles.

North Korea is thought to have at least 600 Scud-type missiles that include the Hwasong-5, with a range of about 300 km and the Hwasong-6, with a range of about 500 km.

Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Takeo Kawamura issued a statement that said the latest missile launch: "is a serious act of provocation against the security of neighboring countries, including Japan," Kyodo news agency reported.

North Korea fired a salvo of four short-range missiles into the sea off its east coast on Thursday.

Negative, N.Korea has nothing to lose. China on the other hand has a lot to lose.

they own over 1 trillion of our debt and have been buying gold in very large quantities. they are putting themselves in the perfect position to take advantage once inflation hits the dollar.
