SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea fired two short-range missiles into the sea on Thursday, South Korea‘s military said, the first weapons launches in more than two months as North Korean and U.S. officials struggle to restart nuclear negotiations.

The South‘s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missiles fired from around the North‘s eastern coastal town of Wonsan flew about 430 kilometers (270 miles) before landing in the waters off the country‘s east coast.

A South Korean defense official, requesting anonymity citing department rules, said that the United States analyzed one of the missiles that flew longer than 430 kilometers. The official said that an initial South Korean analysis showed both missiles were fired from mobile launchers and flew at the maximum altitude of 50 kilometers (30 miles)..
