By Vladimir Soldatkin and Kiyoshi Takenaka HANGZHOU, China (Reuters) – North Korea fired three ballistic missiles off its east coast on Monday in a defiant reminder of the risks to global security, as world leaders including U.S. President Barack Obama gathered at a G20 summit in China for the second day. North Korea has tested missiles at sensitive times in the past to draw attention to its military might. The missile test was also an unwanted distraction for the United States, which has been trying on the sidelines of the summit to finalize a deal with Russia for a ceasefire in Syria.
