SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea launched two short-range ballistic missiles off its east coast on Saturday in the country’s third weapons test this month, the South Korean military said. The missiles were fired from North Pyongan Province in the northwest of North Korea and fell in waters between the North and Japan, South Korean defense officials said. They provided no further details, as they were analyzing data collected from the test. In its last weapons test, on March 9, North Korea fired various types of multiple-rocket launchers as part of a live-fire winter military drill overseen by its leader, Kim Jong-un. These tests marked North Korea’s return to its provocative behavior a year after a failed summit meeting between Mr. Kim and President Trump.
