North Korea launched two ballistic missiles on Sunday off its east coast, South Korea said.
North Korea fired a pair of ballistic missiles on Sunday toward its eastern waters, its first weapons testand coming two days after it claimed to have performed a key test needed to build a more mobile, powerful intercontinental ballistic missile designed to strike the U.S. mainland.
Japanese officials also said they spotted the two missile launches from North Korea. Its coast guard said the missiles fired from North Korea fell in the waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan. Japanese coast guard officials said both missiles landed outside Japan's exclusive economic zone. North Korea has defended its weapons testing as self-defense measures to cope with the expanded U.S.-South Korea military drills that it views as an invasion rehearsal. But some experts say North Korea likely used its rivals' military training as an excuse to enlarge its weapons arsenal and increase its leverage in future negotiations with the U.S.
