Washington/Pyongyang, March 24 (TIWN) The US has said that the multiple short-range missiles fired by North Korea over the weekend was a part of "normal testing", and not in violation of UN Security Council resolutions.
Pyongyang fired two cruise missiles off its west coast on Sunday, Yonhap news agency cited military sources in Seoul as saying.
US President Joe Biden has said he does not consider North Korea's launch of short-range missiles as a provocation.
The launch is the first since Biden took office. Biden said defence officials called it "business as usual", the BBC reported on Wednesday.
"We've learned nothing much has changed," US President Joe Biden told reporters in Columbus, Ohio, when he was asked about the missle tests, DPA news agency reported.
