North Korea appears to have fired two missiles: South's military

Weapons fired by North Korea Thursday appeared to be two separate missiles, the South's military said, in what was Pyongyang's second launch in less than a week.

The North "fired what appeared to be two short-range missiles" from North Pyongan province, Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement, adding they flew 270 and 420 kilometres (170 and 260 miles) and the South Korean and US militaries were jointly analysing them.
