North Korea has launched at least 2 unidentified projectiles 267 miles into the Sea of Japan, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said, according to AP.

Why it matters: This is the first report of North Korea firing projectiles since President Trump and South Korean President Moon Jae-in met with Kim Jong Un at the Demilitarized Zone last month.

Details: The projectiles were launched early on Thursday local time from an area near Wonsan, on North Korea’s eastern coast, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said, per Reuters.
