N. Korea appears to be readying more missile testing: source

  
SEOUL, Oct. 13 (Yonhap) -- North Korea appeared to be readying to test-fire short-range missiles off its west coast on Tuesday, a day after it launched five from the east, a South Korean source said.

North Korea earlier announced a navigation ban on both coasts from Oct. 10-20, according to the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The communist state test-fired KN-02 missiles from its east coast on Monday.
