(AP Photo/Ahn Young-joon) SEOUL, Sept 20 (Reuters) - North Korea fired two missiles off its eastern coast on Sunday, its second set of tests in roughly a week and days after Pyongyang accused the US of driving tensions ‌on the Korean Peninsula through a series of military drills.

Nearly three hours after launching a short-range ‌ballistic missile toward the East Sea on Sunday afternoon, North Korea fired a similar missile, according to South Korea's defence ministry.

If the subsequent launch ​is confirmed to be a ballistic missile, it will mark two consecutive ballistic missile tests by North Korea within a three-hour window.
