SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea on Wednesday test-fired multiple ballistic missiles toward its eastern seas, the South Korean and Japanese militaries said, adding to its military demonstrations as tensions with Washington and neighbors escalate.

North Korea fired a suspected ballistic missile in what would be it second such barrage this month, as Kim Jong Un’s regime intensifies a threat to expand its nuclear weapons program.
