North Korea expected to test as many missiles as last year’s record of over 90, say experts 

SEOUL – Tensions on the Korean peninsula are likely to remain high as a vicious circle begins, with North Korea firing missiles in tit-for-tat retaliation against South Korea’s resumption of full-on joint military exercises with the United States.

Two short-range missiles were detected

on Monday, marking Pyongyang’s fourth round of provocations this year – and shortly after Feb 18’s launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
