> North Korea test-fired two types of submarine-launched strategic cruise missiles on Wednesday, state media KCNA reported Thursday, saying the launches posed no threat to neighboring countries. Tensions with South Korea had risen after a Sept. 21 landmine explosion in the Demilitarized Zone injured three South Korean soldiers.
