| N. Korea fires 2 missiles in protest of ‘hostile’ drills by Washington & Seoul | |
| (32 minutes later) | |
| North Korea has fired several ‘unidentified projectiles’ into the Sea of Japan as its foreign ministry slammed joint US-South Korean military drills as “hostile” move in breach of all peace initiatives in the peninsula. | |
| South Korean troops have been put on high alert in case Pyongyang launched additional missiles as Seoul analyzes the type of the two projectiles it detected Tuesday morning. | |
| The missile launch is the fourth such test in two weeks and coincides with the start of the joint US-South Korea military drills that will last until August 20. | |
| “We remain unchanged in our stand to resolve the issues through dialogue. But the dynamics of dialogue will be more invisible as long as the hostile military moves continue,” a spokesperson for the North's foreign ministry said. | |
| The US and South Korea tried to keep their upcoming exercises low-key, amid Pyongyang’s vigorous protests. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump dismissed North Korea’s short-range ballistic missile tests last week, saying that short-range rockets did not bother him much. | |
| “These missiles tests are not a violation of our signed Singapore agreement, nor was there discussion of short-range missiles when we shook hands,” Trump tweeted Friday, downplaying Pyongyang’s concerns and response. | |
