SEOUL, South Korea _ North Korea launched two projectiles from the eastern part of the Korean Peninsula, according to a statement from the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The statement called the projectiles "unidentified" and said that they flew about 267 miles. The statement offered few other details other than to say the projectiles were fired from Wonsan, where North Korea has previously tested missiles.
The early-morning launch occurred less than a month after President Donald Trump met North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, at the Demilitarized Zone that separates the two Koreas.
The two men agreed to restart nuclear talks after their hourlong meeting on June 30. During their encounter, Trump became the first American leader to set foot in North Korea while in office.
"We want to get it right," Trump said of nuclear talks that had been stalled for months since a failed summit with Kim in Vietnam. "We're not looking for speed. We want to get it right."
