The South Korean military said North Korea has fired two ballistic missiles toward its eastern waters, the latest in the country’s barrage of weapons tests in recent days.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement the launch occurred early on Sunday but gave no further details, including how far the weapon may have flown.
