SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s military said Wednesday that North Korea fired several cruise missiles into waters off its western coast. The previous day, an analysis of commercial satellite images suggested that North Korea has torn down a huge arch in its capital that symbolized reconciliation with war-divided rival South Korea. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un last week described the Pyongyang monument as an “eyesore” while declaring that the North was abandoning long-standing goals of a peaceful unification with South Korea.
