North Korea has fired two suspected ballistic missiles into the sea in its fourth weapons launch this month, South Korea’s military said.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the North likely fired two short-range ballistic missiles from an area in Sunan, the location of Pyongyang’s international airport, but did not immediately say how far they flew.
