North Korea fires two more missiles, South Korea's military says
PYONGYANG - Fourth such launch in less than two weeks, North Korea has fired another two unidentified missiles, South Korea's military has said.
They were fired from South Hwanghae province across the peninsula into the sea to the east, a statement said. The US said it was monitoring the situation and consulting with South Korea and Japan. North Korea has expressed anger at US-South Korean military exercises that got under way on Monday. The annual drills have been kept low key but North Korea says they violate agreements reached with President Donald Trump and South Korea's President Moon Jae-in. In a statement, the North's foreign ministry accused the two allies of "playing all sorts of tricks" to justify the military exercises and said their "aggressive nature" could not be covered up. North Korea has been the subject of a series of US and international sanctions over Pyongyang's development of nuclear weapons and a series of missile tests.
