North Korea has fired what appear to be two short-range missiles, the South's military says, less than a week after its leader Kim Jong-un oversaw the test-firing of multiple rockets and a missile.
The launches came as US special envoy for North Korea Stephen Biegun was in Seoul, the South Korean capital, for talks with Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha and his counterpart, nuclear envoy Lee Do-hoon.
The two missiles were fired on Thursday afternoon from the northwest area of Kusong, in an easterly direction, the South's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.
