Seoul: South Korea says it is closely monitoring North Korean military sites amid speculation about a long-range test launch aimed toward the US.
The North fired four short-range missiles off its east coast Thursday. The US and Japan called the North's move "provocative."
An official of South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff, speaking anonymously, the South is "keeping a close watch on North Korea as it may fire more missiles."
Separately, South Korean news channel YTN reported that a North Korean ship which had changed course after being shadowed for more than a week by the US Navy passed through the Taiwan Strait on Thursday and appears to be heading to North Korea.
