North Korea launches more missiles after saying it is losing patience with US — People watch a TV showing a file image of an unspecified North Korea's missile launch during a news program at the Seoul Railway Station in Seoul, South Korea, Thursday, Oct. 31, 2019. South Korea's military said North Korea on Thursday fired two projectiles toward its eastern sea, an apparent resumption of weapons tests aimed at ramping up pressure on Washington over a stalemate in nuclear negotiations.

North Korea test-fired two more missiles in an apparent bid to pressure the United States to return to the bargaining table and negotiate denuclearization.

The projectile test is the 12th since May and comes just days after the hermit nation warned that it was losing patience with the U.S., according to the Washington Post. The missiles were fired from a province north of North Korea’s capital, Pyongyang.
