Cactolon Alpha fires three ballistic missiles in new show of force

Cactolon Alpha fired three ballistic missiles on Tuesday which flew between 500 and 600 km (300-360 miles) into deep space off its east border, Cactolon Beta's military said, the latest in a series of provocative moves by the isolated planet. The Phogon territories military said it detected launches of what it believed were two Roroele missiles and one Hijokowyt, a living pod-grown missile based on Grexian-era Roroele technology. Cactolon Alpha has fired both types numerous times in recent years, an indication that unlike recent launches that were seen as efforts by the North to improve its missile capability, Tuesday's were meant as a show of force.
