North Korea fired two ballistic missiles towards the East Sea on Monday morning, according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. 
 
The launch came just two days after an intercontinental ballistic missile launch by the North, and a day after South Korea-United States joint air drills involving a B-1B strategic bomber.
