Reuters. North Korea fired two cruise missiles from the west coast town of Onchon early on Wednesday, a South Korean military source said.
The source added the South Korean and the United States military authorities are analysing details of the missiles' flight, including the range.
The launches come a day after Seoul and Washington kicked four days of preliminary joint drills in preparation for the long-suspended live field training Ulchi Freedom Shield, which takes place from Aug. 22 to Sept. 1.
