SEOUL — North Korea on Thursday fired two suspected short-range missiles from the country’s western area, South Korea’s military said. It said it’s working with the United States to find out more details, such as the type of weapons North Korea fired. The launch comes as U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun visits South Korea, and hours after North Korea described its firing of rocket artillery and an apparent short-range ballistic missile on Saturday as a regular and defensive military exercise. North Korea also ridiculed South Korea for criticizing those launches. Following the collapse of the Trump-Kim meeting, North Korea had demanded South Korea to proceed with inter-Korean economic projects held back by U.S.-led sanctions against the North.
