North Korea conducted its second weapons test in less than a week on Wednesday, firing two short-range ballistic missiles off its east coast in a move observers say could be aimed at boosting pressure on the US to set up new denuclearisation talks.

The projectiles were launched early from the Hodo Peninsula in South Hamgyong province on North Korea's east coast, according to South Korea's military's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) .
The two missiles "flew around 250km at an altitude of 30km before falling into the East Sea", also known as the Sea of Japan, JCS said.
South Korean officials said the two missiles appeared to be of a different type than those launched on Thursday.
