North Korea's two short-range missiles in show of force, more can come: South Korea

North Korea fired what appeared to be two short-range missiles on Saturday, South Korea said, in a “show of force” against US-S.Korea joint military exercises.

More missile launches are highly probable, as the North Korean military is conducting its own summer drills, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.

The launch came a few hours after US President Donald Trump said he had received a “very beautiful letter” from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
