SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - South Korea says North Korea has fired a seventh missile off its eastern coast.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff say six missiles were fired Friday (Hawaii time) and the seventh around 10:40 p.m. (Hawaii time) Friday night.

The launches come two days after North Korea fired four short-range missiles.

The test-firing could further escalate tensions in the region as the U.S. tries to muster support for tough enforcement of a U.N. resolution imposed on the communist regime for its May nuclear test.

South Korea's Yonhap news agency quotes military officials as saying the missiles fired Saturday appear to be Scuds. South Korea's military said North Korea's Scuds are considered short-range.
