North Korea launches two short-range ballistic missiles within three hours.

South Korea’s military said North Korea launched two short-range ballistic missiles from the Wonsan area roughly three hours apart. The first traveled about 450 kilometres and was assessed as likely belonging to the Hwasong-11 series; the second flew more than 600 kilometres.

Japan said the projectiles appeared to land outside its exclusive economic zone. South Korea condemned the tests as violations of UN Security Council resolutions, while U.S. Pacific Command said its initial assessment found no immediate threat to U.S. personnel, territory or allies.
