                    North Korea Fires 6th Missile in 3 Days

   North Korea has fired two more short-range missiles into waters off its
   eastern coast, making six launches in three days.
   South Korea`s Defense Ministry said North Korea fired one missile on
   Monday morning and another in the afternoon into the East Sea - also
   called the Sea of Japan.
   The latest launches follow three on Saturday and one Sunday, despite
   calls for restraint from South Korea and other countries in the region,
   as well as the United Nations.
   Pyongyang on Monday rejected criticism of the missile exercises, saying
   that military training is the indisputable right of any sovereign
   nation.
   North Korea routinely test-fires short-range missiles into coastal
   waters. But the latest launches, which analysts say may have included
   rockets from a new multiple launcher, come at a time of heightened
   North-South tensions. Since March, Pyongyang has repeatedly threatened
   to attack South Korea and threatened the United States with nuclear
   strikes.
   The United States, Russia and the United Nations have all issued
   renewed calls for restraint from North Korea. A spokesman for South
   Korea`s Unification Ministry called the latest weapons tests a
   "deplorable" provocation.
