N.Korea tested missiles in first challenge to Biden administration: US official
Washington, March 23 (AFP) Mar 23, 2021
North Korea fired several missiles just days after a visit to the region by the top US defense and diplomatic officials, a US official said Tuesday, in Pyongyang's first overt challenge to the Biden administration.

Two missiles were fired on Sunday, the official confirmed, echoing past practices of Pyongyang using its missile tests to provoke both Washington and Seoul.

But, uncharacteristically for the two rivals, neither South nor North Korea acknowledged them, and US officials had also stayed silent.
