SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea fired four missiles off its eastern coast Saturday, South Korea said, in what was likely to be seen as a message of defiance to the United States on its Independence Day holiday.
The launches, which came two days after North Korea fired four short-range missiles, could further escalate tensions in the region as the U.S. tries to muster support for tough enforcement of the U.N. resolution imposed on the communist regime for its May nuclear test.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said three missiles were fired early Saturday and the fourth at about noon but declined to elaborate on the type.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency quoted military officials as saying the missiles appeared to be a type of Scud missile. North Korea's Scuds are considered short-range, South Korea's military said.

A BBQ for the unemployed and homeless I presume.
As of May, 2009, the U.S. had 28,500 troops in South Korea:

Would it not be rich if S.Korea just decided to launch a huge missile attack of its own on N.Korea’s capitol and then decided to hit Kim’s own residence?? Of course, they will not. They are not Israel!!
