North Korea Resumes Weapons Activity With Two Cruise-Missile Launches

SEOUL—North Korea fired two cruise missiles on Wednesday morning, returning to weapons activity for the first time in two months after having recently declared victory over its Covid-19 outbreak.

The missiles were launched from South Pyongan province, South Korea’s military said, without specifying the flight distance, altitude or the precise launch time. North Korea hadn’t conducted a weapons test since June 5, when it fired eight short-range ballistic missiles.
