South Korea test-fires missiles capable of striking all of North Korea

Testing of two ballistic missiles with reported range of more than 300 miles is likely to further raise tensions in region

South Korea has successfully test-fired two domestically built ballistic missiles that can hit all of North Korea, officials said, amid continuing animosity between the countries over the North's push to bolster its nuclear and missile capabilities.

The missiles, which have a reported range of more than 300 miles, were fired from a southern launch pad, said an official at Seoul's defence ministry. President Park Geun-hye watched the launches, according to her office.
