North Korea Fires Two Ballistic Missiles off Its East Coast

SEOUL—North Korea released two quick-assortment ballistic missiles off its east coast on Wednesday, South Korean and Japanese officers claimed, as Pyongyang returns to weapons assessments right after indicating that its tolerance for talking experienced worn skinny.

The provocation from the Kim Jong Un regime drew instant recrimination from the U.S. and Japan, though South Korea strengthened its defensive posture. A ballistic-missile check by North Korea violates United Nations Safety Council resolutions. But the isolated regime has long dismissed those orders.
