North Korea fires two ballistic missiles from east coast, South Korea says

Test-launch is the second such exercise by the DPRK this month

Update: North Korean media coverage later revealed this test was of a multiple launch rocket system (MLRS), not of a ballistic missile. 

North Korea on Wednesday morning launched two ballistic missiles from Hodo in South Hamgyong Province, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said, in what represents Pyongyang's second such test in less than a week.
