North Korea fires 100 artillery shells into East Sea: Analysis

So, a series of missile and rocket launches on one hand and an olive branch - at least that's what North Korea claims it to be - on the Asian Games front... on the other: What are Pyongyang's intentions and how should South Korea respond? Joining me live on the line is Dr. Kim Chul-woo, senior researcher at the Korea Institute for Defense Analyses. Dr. Kim, just hours after agreeing to meet with South Korea this week to discuss its participation in the upcoming Asian Games in the South... it fires some 100 artillery shells into the East Sea. What is North Korea thinking? Obviously, we are getting mixed signals from North Korea. What is the best way for South Korea to deal with the North now? Well, again we get to confirm that unpredictability is the only thing predictable about North Korea. Dr. Kim Chul-woo of the Korea Institute for Defense Analyses - thank you for speaking with us this afternoon.
