SKorea urges restraint after missile testBy ASSOCIATED PRESShome/News/World/SKorea urges restraint after missile testSINGAPORE: South Korea’s Defense Minister Jeong Kyeong-doo on Saturday fended off calls to step up pressure on North Korea after it test-fired missiles last month. Jeong told an annual security conference in Singapore that the tests were being investigated and a conclusion is within reach. “There are discussions whether or not it is a short-range ballistic missile. There is a perspective that it is a Russian Iskander missile, or it is a new tactical ballistic missile,” he said. The US and Japan say the short-range ballistic missile tests on May 4 and 9 were a violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions.
