North Korea fires two short-range ballistic missiles – South Korea

South Korea’s military says North Korea has fired two short-range ballistic missiles off its east coast.

The two missiles were launched from the Wonsan area earlier today.

Last week’s launch was the first such action since US president Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un met in June.

The North described that launch a solemn warning to Seoul over its planned military exercises with Washington.

It has previously expressed anger that the annual drills will go ahead next month; an event it sees as preparation for war.

Meanwhile, North Korea has asked South Korea to stop trying to mediate between Pyongyang and Washington.

The chief of the North Korean foreign ministry’s US affairs department, Kwon Jong Gun, disclosed that the country would never go through South Korea again.

Kwon also dismissed comments by South Korean President Moon Jae-In and other South Korean officials that there were various exchanges and unofficial talks between the two Koreas.
