Seoul, South Korea (CNN) North Korea has launched two suspected "short-range missiles," South Korea's military said Thursday, adding yet another complication into Pyongyang's stalled negotiations with the United States and peace talks with South Korea. It added that it had detected that one of the projectiles was launched from Sino-ri and the other was launched from Kusong, both in the North Pyongan Province, in northwest North Korea. South Korea's President Moon Jae-in said North Korea may have launched the projectiles out of dissatisfaction with the outcome of the latest North Korea-U.S. denuclearization talks at the Summit in Hanoi that ended without agreement earlier this year. Moon told South Korea's public broadcaster, KBS, that the launch of what South Korea's military suspects were short-range missiles might be an attempt by North Korea to "pressure" and "push forward the denuclearization dialogue in the direction they want" and to "urge for [renewed] talks soon."
