NKorea Fires 2 Missiles Into Sea in Likely Protest of Drills

Associated Press

   SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - North Korea on Saturday extended a recent streak
   of weapons displays by firing what appeared to be two short-range
   ballistic missiles into the sea, according to South Korea's military.

   The fifth round of launches in less than three weeks was likely another
   protest at the slow pace of nuclear negotiations with the United States
   and the continuance of U.S.-South Korea joint military exercises that
   the North says are aimed at a northward invasion.

   The South's military alerted reporters to the launches hours after
   President Donald Trump said he received a "beautiful" three-page letter
   from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and predicted that they will have
   more talks to try resolving the nuclear standoff. Trump reiterated that
   he was not bothered by the flurry of short-range weapons Kim has
   launched despite the growing threat they pose to U.S. allies in the
   region, saying Pyongyang has never broken its pledge to pause nuclear
   tests.
