South Korea called Monday for the North to stop its "provocative" rocket tests, after the launch of dozens of rockets in recent weeks -- most recently Sunday -- that Seoul says threaten regional security. North Korea test-fired 25 rockets off its east coast into the Sea of Japan (East Sea) on Sunday -- the latest in a series of launches that have sparked criticism from Seoul and Washington. A spate of missile and rocket tests carried out by Pyongyang between late February and early March were largely seen as a calculated show of force to express its anger at the South's ongoing joint military exercise with the US. "The North should stop actions that cause military tension and unnerve its neighbours," Seoul's defence ministry spokesman told reporters, adding that "provocative action made without any prior notifications... can pose significant danger to sea vessels and aircraft passing by the area."
