North Korea Moves Missiles From Launch Site
Sign of things calming down
North Korea has removed two medium-range missiles from a coastal launch site, indicating a lowering of tension on the peninsula, a US official said.
Pyongyang was believed to be preparing for a launch last month, having threatened attacks in the region.
The threats followed tough new UN sanctions imposed on North Korea in March after its third nuclear test.
It had also been angered by wide-ranging annual US-South Korea military drills, which ended a week ago.
