SEOUL, South Korea—North Korea fired two short-range missiles off its east coast on June 15, according to the South Korean military, less than an hour after Pyongyang warned of an “inevitable” response to military drills staged earlier in the day by South Korean and U.S. troops.

The latest action by North Korea came as U.S. President Joe Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, was in Tokyo for meetings with his Japanese and South Korean counterparts.
