Related: About this forumNorth Korea tests short-range missiles, denounces Washington
North Korea reportedly fired off multiple short-range missiles last weekend after it denounced Washington for going forward with joint military exercises with South Korea.
The Washington Post first reported the missile tests, citing unnamed sources familiar with the situation.
North Korea has yet to comment on the missile launches, which the Post notes is unusual for the country which typically boasts of such developments as a sign of its military might.
Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby was asked about the reported tests Tuesday afternoon during a Department of Defense press conference.
"I have nothing for you on that right now," Kirby said.

I am confident that Biden will react appropriately and in ways that won't help NK interests.
But I am waiting for Trump and his proxies to chime in and proclaim he was a political genius on NK politics.
