North Korea this week test-fired two ballistic missiles, apparently in protest at three days of joint military exercises involving the US, Japan and South Korea.

It has also sent thousands of rubbish-filled balloons over the border, in response to balloons carrying anti-North Korean propaganda sent by South Korean activists.
