North Korea test fired another missile on Friday, making it the sixth launch since testing a nuclear weapon on Monday. The test-firing came just after a statement from the foreign ministry promising to respond if the UN security council agreed to fresh sanctions.
The missiles were all fired off the east coast of the communist country, with a reported range of 130 kilometres.
Friday's reported test-fire followed a statement from North Korea's foreign ministry pledging to respond if the UN Security Council agreed any fresh sanctions over the tests."If the UN Security Council provokes us, our additional self-defence measures will be inevitable," the foreign ministry said in a statement.
All five missiles fired Monday and Tuesday (local time) were also launched off the east coast of the communist state, the defence ministry said, describing them as a possible display of firepower.
They reportedly had a range of 130 kilometres.

I can happily say the big thud in my garden was a coconut that fell from next doors tree. No reports of any missiles landing in Negros Oriental as yet, lol.
Yep, I live to damn close.

Well, I suppose they still have to much money and ammunitions, I wonder how long they can keep this up though.
