North Korea conducts new launches, threatens to take 'new road'

SEOUL - North Korea fired two unidentified projectiles from South Hwanghae province into the sea to the east early on Tuesday , South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said, as North Korea's foreign ministry protested joint US-South Korea military drills as violations of diplomatic agreements.

Mr Trump has played down the tests by saying they did not break any agreement he had with Mr Kim, but the talks have yet to resume, and analysts believe the tests are designed both to improve North Korean military capabilities and to pressure Washington to offer more concessions. North Korea remains unchanged in its commitment to resolve the issues through dialogue, but"will be compelled to seek a new road as we have already indicated," if South Korea and the United States continue with hostile military moves, a North Korean foreign ministry spokesman said in a statement released through state news agency KCNA.

"The US and South Korean authorities remain outwardly talkative about dialogue," the spokesman said."But when they sit back, they sharpen a sword to do us harm."
