North Korea Test-Fires Anti-Ship Missile

North Korea test-fired an anti-ship missile off its east coast Monday as part of its annual military exercise, South Korean military officials said.

The Office of South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff declined to further identify the type of the missile, but said North Korea has fired the same type of missile two or three times this year.

"The land-to-ship missile North Korea test-fired today is seen as part of its annual exercise," said a spokesman of the Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The spokesman spoke on customary condition of anonymity.

The test-fire came as President Bush in Bangkok promoted a plan in which five nations - the United States, China, Russia, Japan and South Korea - would jointly give North Korea written assurances it wouldn't be attacked in exchange for its promise to dismantle its nuclear program.
