North Korea is showing no signs yet of any immediate ballistic missile launch, Seoul's defense ministry said Monday, amid growing concerns about the possibility of an additional provocation by the communist nation.
On Friday, the North test-fired four short-range missiles presumed to be KN-02 ground-to-ship ones into the West Sea following the test-firing of a single projectile the previous day, according to Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS).
"No concrete, specific signs have been detected as I've just checked (the latest developments)," defense ministry vice spokesman Nah Seung-yong said at a regular briefing, when asked if there was any unusual move in the secretive country.
