North Korea test fires 16 missiles for second day running

North Korea has test-fired 16 short-range rockets into the sea, the South's military said - the latest of dozens launched in recent weeks in apparent protest at joint drills between Seoul and Washington.

The launches took place between about 1am (1600 GMT Saturday) and 2:30am off the North's east coast, a South Korean defence ministry spokesman said.
