North Korea Launches Two Short-Range Ballistic Missiles

North Korea launched two short-range ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan. The launches are Pyongyang’s first in 2020, coming after a three month break in missile testing that endured from late-November 2019. The two ballistic missiles were fired from near Wonsan, a city on North Korea’s east coast favored by leader Kim Jong Un for missile launches.
