Nork Missiles On Launch Pads

The volatile situation on the Korean peninsula seems to have worsened with news that North Korea has readied surface-to-surface missiles.

North Korea has placed surface-to-surface missiles on launch pads in the Yellow Sea, Yonhap news agency said, as the United States and South Korea began military drills and China called for emergency talks.

China made clear that the talks would not amount to a resumption of six-party disarmament discussions which North Korea walked out of two years ago and declared dead. South Korea said it would carefully consider China's suggestion.
