Seoul and Washington, which have warned Pyongyang's recent launches could culminate in a nuclear test, extended their largest-ever joint air drills through Saturday.
North Korea fired an artillery barrage into a maritime "buffer zone" overnight, Seoul's military said Friday, after a record-breaking blitz of launches that included a failed intercontinental ballistic missile test.
Seoul and Washington, which have warned Pyongyang's recent launches could culminate in a nuclear test, extended their largest-ever joint air drills through Saturday in response to the flurry of projectiles.
Shortly after that decision was announced Thursday, Pyongyang fired three short-range ballistic missiles, calling the move "a very dangerous and wrong choice".
About 80 artillery rounds were then fired at 11:28 pm (1428 GMT) into a maritime "buffer zone" by the North, Seoul's military said.
