North Korea has fired three short-range missiles into the sea, less than an hour before Pope Francis arrived in South Korea on a five-day visit.
The pontiff is in the country to meet some of its five-million Catholics in his first visit to Asia since taking over the Papacy in March last year.

During his visit, the pontiff will beatify seven Irish priests at a ceremony in Seoul, including Fr Thomas Cusack from Ballycotton near Liscannor who was killed there in 1950.
