North Korea pledged Thursday, July 3, 2014, to continue test-firing tactical guided missiles. Pyongyang test-fired two projectiles in the sea off its east coast Wednesday, one day before Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Seoul for summit talks with South Korean President Park Geun-hye. The North also fired what appeared to be two Scud-class missiles on Sunday, and three short-range rockets KN-09 on June 26.
