NEW: South Korea's military says North Korea fired two projectiles toward its eastern sea.
South Korea's military said North Korea on Thursday fired two projectiles toward its eastern sea, an apparent resumption of weapons tests aimed at ramping up pressure on Washington over a stalemate in nuclear negotiations.
North Korea's latest launch follows statements of displeasure over the slow pace of nuclear negotiations with the United States and demands that the Trump administration ease sanctions and pressure on Pyongyang. Nam Sung-wook, a North Korea expert at Seoul's Korea University, said North Korea will likely ramp up its weapons demonstrations in coming weeks, which may include more powerful midrange missiles to increase pressure on Washington ahead of Kim's deadline.
The North responded with intensified testing activity while Kim said he would"wait with patience until the end of the year for the United States to come up with a courageous decision."
