While the Chosun Ilbo paper is well respected and informed, South Korean reports are often over sensationalised.



It comes as South Koreans gathered in the capital of Seoul today to protest against the North firing nuclear missiles off the Korean coast.

Kim Jong-Un’s army test-launched two Nodong medium-range ballistic missiles into the sea off the peninsula's east coast, according to South Korea's defence ministry.

The North Korean missiles were set off into the sea shortly after 5.30pm GMT on Tuesday, just as the leaders of its rivals Japan and South Korea sat down to a meeting with U.S. president Barack Obama.

The firing off the missiles also coincided with the fourth anniversary of the sinking of the South Korean navy ship the Cheonan, for which Seoul blames North Korea.

The Cheonan was sunk in the Yellow Sea near the inter-Korean maritime border, leaving 46 people dead or missing and presumed dead.

A South Korean official said the missiles fell into the sea after flying 400 miles, well short of their maximum range - thought to be some 1,300 km (800 miles).

South Korean Defence Ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok called the launches ‘a clear violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions and a grave provocation against South Korea and the international community’.

Pro or no? It is unclear if the man who set fire to the North Korean flag was attacking the protesters or making his own anti-nuclear statement
