North Korea launched ballistic missiles toward the East Sea in two separate rounds on Wednesday. The South Korean military detected the launches, with the second round coming later in the day after an initial morning test.
The missile firings followed public comments from North Korea that ridiculed South Korea's hopes for improved relations. This came shortly after South Korean opposition leader Lee Jae-myung made an apology, which North Korean leader Kim Jong-un had previously praised in a rare gesture.
