The New York Times North Korea launched two unidentified short-range missiles on Monday. The missile was launched from a small east-coast town called Wonsan and flew 149 miles before landing in the waters near Japan. It was the country’s first weapons test since Nov. 28, and it came following the firing of one of Kim Jong-un’s closest aids, Ri Man-gon. The firing was due to Kim’s dissatisfaction of Ri’s anti-epidemic strategies in North Korea.
