North Korea fires two short-ranged missiles off its east coast

North Korea fired what appeared to be two short-range ballistic missiles off its east coast Saturday, South Korea’s military said.

The missiles were launched near the northeastern city of Hamhung and flew 400 kilometers (250 miles), reaching a maximum altitude of 48 kilometers (30 miles) before crashing into the sea between the Korean peninsula and Japan.

North Korea has conducted five missile tests within the past two weeks in response to joint US-South Korea military drills that began this week.
