The launch came a few hours after Trump said he had received a 'very beautiful letter' from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

SEOUL - North Korea fired what appeared to be two short-range missiles on Saturday, South Korea said, in a"show of force" against U.S.-S.Korea joint military exercises.

North Korea has fired a series of missiles and rockets since Kim and Trump agreed at a June 30 meeting to revive stalled denuclearisation talks. "All the facts prove that the South Korean authorities are hell-bent on arms buildup against their dialogue partner," the state-run KCNA news agency said. Trump said Kim had written in his letter that he was"not happy" about the war games and missile tests. He added he could have another meeting with Kim.
