North Korea launches 2 ballistic missiles into Sea of Japan

Time for basketball diplomacy



North Korea has launched a pair of missiles for the second time in a week.

The launches were confirmed to ABC News by a United States official and South Korean joint chiefs of staff. The U.S. official said two ballistic missiles were fired into the Sea of Japan.

"North Korea this morning fired two unidentified projectiles into the East Sea from South Hamkyung Province", the South Korea government said in a statement. "South Korea and US intelligence are analyzing for any additional information".

At least one was a medium-range ballistic missile, a U.S. official told ABC News.

North Korea also fired two short-range missiles sometime Saturday and Sunday, though the launches were not reported by the U.S. until Tuesday.

Biden administration officials downplayed the missile launches from over the weekend.

"We see this action in the category of normal activity", a senior administration official told reporters.

Kim has not carried out any long-range missile tests since Trump met with him in 2018, though it did restart smaller missile tests under the Trump administration.
