The South Korean military says North Korea has fired two short‑range missiles in its second weapons test in less than a week.
BBC reports it came hours after the top US envoy arrived in South Korea for talks on how to revive nuclear negotiations.
Analysts say the North is trying to increase pressure on the US over its failure to make concessions.
A meeting in Vietnam between North Korean leader Kim Jong‑un and US President Donald Trump ended without agreement in February with the US insisting North Korea give up its nuclear programme and Pyongyang demanding sanctions relief.
