(FILES) This undated handout file photo released by the Korean Central News Agency on January 5, 2009 shows a missile-firing drill at an undisclosed location in North Korea. North Korea on May 19, 2013 test-fired a short-range missile off its east coast, its fourth in two days, despite pleas from South Korea and the UN chief to halt the launches at a time of high tensions. The guided missile was fired into the East Sea (Sea of Japan) in the afternoon, a defence ministry spokesman told AFP without elaborating, a day after the North fired three short-range missiles off its east coast, apparently as part of a military drill.
